Oden is a very popular Japanese dish, especially during colder weather. It consists of various ingredients simmered slowly in a light miso and soy-flavored broth. Common ingredients include boiled vegetables and a variety of fish cakes, which are skewered into cute, bite-sized portions, making them easy to eat on the go! Oden is frequently sold at Japanese convenience stores, street stalls, and specialized restaurants, often served with dipping sauces. Here in California, we offer a refreshing version served in cups, allowing customers to add their favorite toppings, such as green onions, cilantro, Japanese chili oil, or yuzu sauce. It's a cozy dish, perfect as an evening snack.
