Oden is perhaps one of Japan\u2019s favorite wintertime treats. After all, what could be better than enjoying a warm, comforting meal on a chilly evening? In its most basic form, oden consists of skewered ingredients left to marinate in a dashi, or Japanese stock broth. The ingredients and how the dashi is prepared can differ greatly across Japan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Though many regions of Japan claim to have delectable oden, Shizuoka City in Shizuoka Prefecture is (quite literally) the dark horse when it comes to oden. Shizuoka oden is known for having a much darker dashi broth than your typical oden stock, as it is enriched with beef and soy sauce which gives it a much richer flavour than its milder Kanto or Kansai area counterparts. The oden is then sprinkled with powdered ground fish and seaweed, served with a dollop of spicy mustard.<\/p>\n The skewered oden ingredients are varied, but some of the more prominent ones found in Shizuoka-style oden are detailed below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many other ingredients, such as a variety of tofu products, fish products, and vegetables can also be used as oden ingredients. Half the fun of oden is trying as many different types as you can deciding on your favourites. So, eat on!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
