Last Saturday, I visited an Oden restaurant near Gifu Station. The place was full with people.
Back in China, I had tried Oden a few times, but this was my first experience having it in Japan. Compared to what I had in China, there were more options available in Japan. For instance, it was my first time trying ginkgo, which had a slightly bitter taste but was surprisingly delicious.
Sounds that you have oden in China right? How is it called? Looks that the one you had was served with yuzu (Japanese lemon); what a stylish oden it is!
ReplyDeleteIn China, this dish is called "关东煮" and pronounced as "GuanDongZhu." This was my first time trying oden with yuzu, and I absolutely loved it! The yuzu adds a refreshing aroma that enhances the entire experience.
DeleteThanks a lot! Yuzu in oden is not much popular but it should be good! I do not know if Japanese oden is originateed from Chinese one. Do you know any of it?
DeleteI'm not entirely sure about this, but in my hometown in northeast China, we don't have food like oden. In southern China, especially around Shanghai, oden is typically sold in convenient stores, and I haven't seen any restaurants specializing in it. However, I can't say for sure if there are restaurants serving dishes similar to oden in southern provinces like Fujian or Guangdong, as I’ve never been there. My guess is that oden originated in Japan.
