Japanese food ~22~ Oden

I introduce a "oden".
Winter is the good season of oden.
  Oden is a food boiled and seasoned. There are konnyaku, konbu(sea tangle),
chikuwa(a tubular roll of boiled fish paste), chicken, daikon(Japanese white radish)
boiled egg, and so on.
  You eat these kind of stuff with mustard, called "karashi".
  The soup is salty. You put on water, oyster sauce, dashi(soup stock ), and salt.
So, taste is salty.
 I have heard that you can buy this oden by vending machine if you go to
Akihabara in Tokyo , which is famous for the mecca of OTAKU.
You can buy oden in a can by vending machine. I have not seen such vending machine
before.

Thanks for reading!
