Mmm Mmm Good

We've been hit with a bit of a cool spell recently, and when temperatures get cooler it makes us want to eat some of our favorite dishes. In the U.S., this may be chicken noodle soup, chili, or stew...but in Japan it's a little bit different.


Today, Ten and I decided to make oden together..... : )....have been looking forward to eating this since last fall/winter.

So, what's in it? Cabbage rolls, fish cakes stuffed with yummy things like dumplings and sausages, giant white radishes, boiled eggs, and much more. It's all simmered in a soy sauce based soup for around 30 minutes.

It tastes a bit sweet and salty, and we love it!! As you can tell, we made a little bit too much for two people...hahaha...but I'm hoping Ten will be able to finish it off.
