Oden

This traditional Japanese winter-dish should be called "Oh, delicious." It's various foods, including fried tofu, daikon, egg, potato, octopus, konniyaku, etc, kept warm in a pleasant combination of water, sake, sugar and soy sauce. They seem to love that combination here, and so do I. This is one of those "better as left-overs meals". Oden is made even more delicious when complimented with spicy mustard. Take note, I try not to use those gaijin-friendly chopsticks.
