Do Yaki
This is my first time trying do yaki — cow tendon and organs simmered in a miso sauce that's been caramelizing and bubbling forever. The tendon has a wonderful crunchy texture and bounciness, and the miso is so nutty and sweet. Oh man, that's delicious.
Oden Radish
The radish is very hot but really good — it melts in your mouth. I love it with that mustard. From all the oden, the radish is usually my favorite.
Oden Konnyaku
This konnyaku is made from a yam-like ingredient — it's kind of like a jelly simmered in that miso. It's jiggly, crisp and jiggly all at the same time, with a really unique texture — snappy but wobbly. If you didn't know it was yam, you might think it's tendon. I love that miso flavor, it's incredible.
Oden Tofu
The tofu is so juicy — one of the great things about oden is it's just saturated with that broth. Everything is kind of soft so it absorbs the broth. That's one of the highlights of eating anything from the oden pot — a straight tofu sponge of broth. It's really good.
Oden Fish Cake
The guy standing next to me recommended this fish cake, saying it's one of the best things from the oden. It's really good — soft and airy, like aerated. It does taste like fish, but it's hollow like a straw and totally absorbs all that broth. The best things for oden are the ingredients that absorb.
