๐ข Japanese Odenโฆ especially the daikonโฆย you HAVE to try it!
Do you know how insanely good Japanese oden daikon is?
If you havenโt tried it yet โ please do!
Itโs perfectly sweet, tender, and soaked all the way through with warm, flavourful broth.
Itโs the kind of comfort food that instantly boosts your happiness, especially on a chilly dayโฆ ๐
๐ฆช Our Favourite Menu Item โ Fried Oysters
The dish my friend always orders here is the fried oysters!
Theyโre incredibly crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside โ the flavour is unreal.
And paired with a drink? Absolutely perfect. ๐บ๐
๐ข Oden & Yakitoriย
The oden here is amazing, but the yakitori (grilled skewers) are just as impressive!
- Chicken heart (hatsu)

Every single one is delicious โ honestly, you canโt go wrong with any of them.
