Oden
Oden is an assortment — daikon, boiled egg, konnyaku, fried tofu, and many kinds of fish cake — stewed slowly in a light soy-dashi broth until soft and saturated with flavour. It is cold-weather comfort food sold at izakaya, specialist shops, street carts, and, famously, convenience stores, where a heated tray by the register sells pieces individually in winter. Broth colour and sweetness vary sharply by region; Nagoya serves it dark with miso.
