Shizuoka Oden Street (Aoba Oden Street, Aoba Yokocho)
Take a trip back to the Showa era! A famous alleyway serving Shizuoka-style oden with rich, flavorful broth
"Aoba Oden Street" and "Aoba Yokocho" are popular spots where you can enjoy "Shizuoka Oden," the soul food of Shizuoka City.
The countless red lanterns swaying among the skyscrapers and the nostalgic scenery, reminiscent of a trip back to the Showa era, stir a sense of travel excitement the moment you step inside.
The essence of Shizuoka Oden lies in its jet-black broth, carefully maintained by continuously adding beef tendon and dark soy sauce.
Contrary to its striking appearance, the broth has a deep richness yet a mellow flavor.
The flavor slowly permeates the ingredients, such as the famous “black hanpen” (*), and when finished with “dashi powder” and green laver, the aroma of the sea whets your appetite.
Huddling together at the small counter and enjoying conversation with the owner and regulars is a unique pleasure of the alleyway.
Please enjoy a Shizuoka evening that warms both your heart and body.
(*) Kuro-hanpen: A Shizuoka specialty fish paste with a rich umami flavor, made by grinding fish such as mackerel and sardines—bones and all—into a paste.
