Any evidence at all?

[edit]

This item came out of virtual non-existence in 2017. I don't see any sources cited that provide any historical or factual documentation as to its origins. Some user/freelance recipe sites calling it "Shibuya honey toast" is hardly encyclopedic they don't even reference actual locations. The oldest article cited is from a blog by an independent writer hosted by Huffington Post, itself giving no citations or information about its origins or locations. While it was originally written in 2015, the blog was updated in 2017 after the popularity of this mystery dish exploded. I'm not saying this article shouldn't exist, It's obviously a real food. I just hope someone can dig deeper and figure out where and when it came from and maybe how it popped up in 2017 in half a dozen countries at once. Just for example, if it really was created in Shibuya, one should be able to isolate which restaurant specifically invented it. J1DW (talk) 18:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

The article was moved to a WP:TITLECASE title, citing the titles of cited sources, which are also written in titlecase, which English Wikipedia avoids where possible. For instance, the myrecipes.com source is titled "The Best Dessert for Breakfast Is Shibuya Honey Toast", but the lede sentence of the source is formatted thusly: "If you dig dessert for breakfast, look no further than Shibuya honey toast." The Saveur article by Craddock says "This over-the-top architectural dessert (also known as brick toast)..." in its first sentence, though the title is "Shibuya Honey Toast." Donenfeld of the Huffington Post titles her article the same way, but the article ltself uses proper WP:SENTENCECASE. The final sentence in the lede paragraph is: "This weekend, I traveled down the enchanted path of Japanese Shibuya honey toast." Note that news.com.au and the Washington Post use sentence case not title case, in their article titles. As such I will be restoring WP:SENTENCECASE throughout the article in upcoming edits.
