Basic Ingredients
Some would say that no pot of oden is complete without several key ingredients. Fish cakes and fried tofu, often stuffed with mochi or vegetables, make up the main ingredients. The most common vegetables use include daikon radish and knotted kelp with boiled egg finishing off the pot.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Oden
If you travel to different parts of Japan, you will find that many places have their own variation of this dish. Shizuoka offers a very dark soup made with beef tendon and still keeps the dengaku sticks.
Shizuoka has a whole street lined with oden vendors, and an annual oden festival is held every year in the middle of February. Toyama's oden is marked by fish balls made with local seafood from Toyama Bay. You can also find famous oden establishments with their own special styles. Otafuku in Tokyo has been open since 1916 and claims a 60-year-old broth.
But if you're not in Japan, don't worry! A popular snack all over Asia, oden can also be found as close as your local convenience store.
