"Oden" is a great food from Japan. Oden (おでん) is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku, and processed fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth. I used to buy it all the time from Circle K convenience stores. Homemade おでん sometimes has octopus.
