Meaning

御田 (おでん, Oden) is Oden, a Japanese food (soups and stews, ways of food preparation).

What is Oden?

Oden is a one-pot dish consisting of several ingredients, including boiled eggs, daikon, konjac, and processed fishcakes. The ingredients are stewed in a light, soy-flavored dashi broth. Oden was originally what is now commonly called misodengaku or simply dengaku . For this dish, konjac or tofu was boiled and eaten with miso. Later, instead of using miso, ingredients were cooked in dashi , and oden became popular. Ingredients vary according to region and between each household. Karashi (Japanese mustard) is often used as a condiment.
