Poom & Oden
Hmmm...... what to pick...
Hi everyone, this is Poom.
This time I'm writing about what I like from Japanese convenience stores. It’s a bit different from my country’s convenience store. In Japan every convenience stores must have a restroom inside but in Thailand, some do not. The most interesting for me in convenience store is oden. Oden is a popular Japanese dish where various foods are cooked in a broth. It is even tastier if you eat in while it's hot and put some karashi (mustard) on it.
Most of 7-Eleven stores in Japan sell oden. It's kept simmering in the big pot, waiting for customers to buy some. First time I saw, I was impressed by the way the convenience store sell oden to customers. Customers can choose whatever they want to eat and pay the price by what was picked from the pot. Everything looks delicious!! First time I tasted it, it was very nice, especially because I ate it while it still hot.
I always go buy some oden if I feel hungry at home because it’s easy and delicious. I hope everyone gets a chance to try some oden.
