We wanted to eat oden before getting completely warm. So, we went to Kingyoya (金魚屋) that is popular as good oden and soba. They are underpass just close to Funabashi station.
But unfortunately it was warm that day. Kingyoya have a variety of Japanese sake. They really have so many kinds of Japanese sake, so they recommend “Comparing tastes set” to first comers. We can choose three Japanese sake from all kinds of Japanese sake on the menus.
If you don’t know Japanese sake very well, they choose three Japanese sake for you. I don’t know Japanese sake well, too. So, anyway, I chose my three sake from Nagano prefecture.
From left to right, Toyoka (豊賀), Sawa no hana (澤の花) and Saku no hana (佐久の花).
Everything had good flavor and those were very good. But I like Saku-no-hana best.
Otoshi (Appetizer) was mekabu seaweed. The restaurant isn’t izakaya, so unless you order any alcoholic drinks, waiter don’t serve the otoshi.
It’s grilled miso with whole buckwheat seeds.
Nukazuke. It’s pickles.
Potherb salads.
Beef tendon stew. It was simmered until those meats are soft 🙂
Karaage. This karaage was dressed with soba powder. The coating was very soft.
Vinegared mackerel. It was vinegared lightly. I like it.
At first, I thought that what’s “batman” ? When the dish came, I understood that batman is simmered pork with soy sauce.
Today’s bone senbei and baby conger eel. Baby conger eel is called “nore sore”.
And we ordered some small dishes. Everything go with Japanese sake. I also think it go with white wine. I had never seen cream cheese with saikyo-miso. Saikyo-miso is sweet white miso bean paste made in Kyoto. I know mostly saikyo-miso is used for seafoods.
Well, we was there to eat oden. We never forgot.
We ordered daikon radish, egg and beef tendon. Those are standard ingredients of oden 🙂
Raw yuba oden. Yuba is bean-curd skin. It’s smooth and good. It’s like silk made of soy milk.
Mentaiko and Japanese yam (Yamatoimo). Mentaiko ! My delight seafoods !
Though it was warm climate, we enjoyed oden to the full 🙂 We were already full, but we ate soba. Soba with pork. Its soup had chili oil in it. So, it’s spicy a bit.
Soba with daikon radish. Those grated radish have pungent tastes and it’s called “Karami daikon”. It’s simple and good. I like it far better than pork soba above :p
