oden
Japanese winter stew
Oden is a Japanese winter dish consisting of various ingredients—boiled eggs, daikon radish, tofu, fish cakes, and konjac—simmered in a light soy-flavored dashi broth.
It's a staple of convenience stores and street vendors in cold weather, with regional variations across Japan.
We grabbed some oden from the 7-Eleven. (Capitalized Oden is a proper name.)
