Oden



Went for Oden yesterday, which is a favorite cold-weather dish here in Japan. I guess it would be like a stew on a cold day in the US. Oden can be made at home, but I went to an Oden-ya san to eat it. It was soooooo good! It has tofu, daikon rasdish, hard boiled eggs, enoki mushroom, fishcake, many more. The sauce (tsuyu) is light or strong tasting depending on the area. Here in the Kanto (Tokyo) region it tends to be strong, but in Kansai (Kyoto or Osaka) its a bit more diluted my friend told me. Anyway, I cant wait to go again. Yum! :P
