Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Daikon (大根)

Daikon, radish, left in the oden pot, the shared simmering broth, for about three days. The house says an oden broth is judged by its daikon, so it's our first piece.

Also on our table

  • A few pieces from the pot, with warm sake

Otafuku

Japanese · oden · Asakusa, Tokyo

1-chōme Senzoku, Taitō, Tokyo 111-0031

  • Food + wine

An oden house that came to Asakusa from Osaka more than a century ago, passed from parent to child to grandchild. Every piece simmers in one shared broth, and the radish is how the house says you judge it.
