Joe and I have been getting spoiled lately by our fun Japanese neighbors Saya and Taizo. It's been a great pick-me-up in the midst of steely gray skies and drizzly weather. Tonight, we had our first experience of Oden, a hearty soup with root veggies and fish cakes in a seaweed flavored broth. I'm a huge fan of fish cakes... even though I guess they're a little like the hotdogs of the seafood world. (But I've been known to eat quite a few of those too since
Livingston's Deli opened.) Saya carefully dished out one of each kind of fish cake or fish ball or hardboiled egg or konjac jelly cake or diakon or potato chunk--to make sure we got to try everything in the soup.
I know you must be curious, as Joe and I were, to peek over the edge of the stock pot! Mmm. Look at all that tasty stuff!
In addition to oden, the Yasudas prepared fresh diakon salads with a mound of dashi-based dressing, green tea and
korean seafood pancake with shoyu sauce.
