You know that it's getting colder in Japan

when you start seeing Oden pop up in the local convenience stores.

Adverbs of degree

Now, it's really great to have Oden from a convenience store

and to stand outside in the cold with the big warm basket of Oden

but there's something really special about going to an izakaya that serves Oden.

Come we're going to take you to a place that serves it

By Thor's hammer, I decree that it is Oden Night! Get it? Cuz Oden like Thor Odin...

I love spots like this that are far from the stations

These are all the bikes of the locals that are coming here.

- I'd like to mention. That I tripped on every freaking pebble on the way over here

I kicked the first one, then I kicked the second one.

And then I whipped around and I hit this one I just stumbled out of here

and then I saw an Instagram they started serving Oden,

- It started out with just me, and then it turned more into like a Norse one.

So Martina began the video by introducing the convenience store kind

But this is my turn to show you a little bit we have here tofu. We have some egg

We have the money bag. We have the radish.

M- We have the money bag. You just said it so casually.

S- That's what they're called. They're called money bags, aren't they?

And then we have I don't know what this is called

It's just like a Oden just like a fish cake.

- I mean it is the difference between having a  store-made dumpling and

M- The name of this is on the screen right now

S- Because we don't know it at the moment

Mixed with a bunch of ground of things and they put it inside of a bamboo pole

and if it's not right there's something on the screen right now

with like a big I X going through my face being like that's not right at all.

Normally they're quite small. I mean half the size of it maybe right

S- Maybe.  M- This is like wildly big. That's what she said?

- I don't even know what to compare this look to it's just so different

M- You know like when you have a beef stew, and you put those dense

not the fluffy dumplings? S- Yes this tastes like

a dumpling in a beef stew. It's so hearty

S- and wholesome M- Hearty and warming is exactly the words I would use to describe it.

S- And having some with warm sake is the only way to go.

Remember cold sake for cold foods warm sake for warm foods

Did you already have your half? M- I only had a bite of it.

but it seemed to me that you were gonna eat all that S- We COULD always order more

S- My mom used to make these really chubby noodles, I don't even know what they were called

But they were like fat like this and there were water noodles

I don't know. Mom, I know you watch my videos all the time.

Can you like call me and tell me mom. What are they called? Okay

[Japanese] because they're sticky [Japanese]

- This has a very nostalgic warm wholesome feeling.

This alone is worth the price of admission
