Chuo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Kamekou

I was eating oden, a humble food, but I felt like royalty. The service is attentive, friendly and welcoming to foreigners. An English menu is available. The foods simmering in the oden were as expected, nothing to be excited about. My favourites were the mochi bag, fried tofu and wakame. However, it’s the broth that’s the drawcard - it’s umami-rich, sweet and not too salty. I drank it like a soup! (And the chef was kind enough to provide bowls just for this purpose.) The dinner combo for 1200 yen comes with 4 oden items selected randomly, a bowl of seasoned rice, miso soup, some pickles and a side of spinach. However, that’s of course not enough, so I ordered items individually until I was happily stuffed. Reserve in advance!

Nice little Oden place under ground. Every Oden items are really good and got nice choices of side dish too. Prices are pretty affordable and they got take out menu as well. Perfect for cold night.

Delicious oden. Recommended, especially during cold days. Minimal English, except for one waiter with better English. Cozy atmosphere.
