Daikon, eggs, konnyaku, fishcakes and beef tendon slow-simmered in a light dashi-soy broth. Osakans call it kanto-daki to acknowledge the Tokyo origin while serving a lighter Kansai version.
Oden arrived in Osaka from Tokyo in the Edo era; Osakans renamed it kanto-daki (cooked-in-the-Kanto-style) and over a century thinned the broth to the lighter dashi-soy base canonical to Kansai. Takoume Honten in Dotonbori, founded 1844, is Japan's oldest oden restaurant and is widely cited as the city's defining shop.
