Last weekend, I ate oden for dinner. Oden is a Japanese dish with ingredients like boiled eggs, radishes, fried tofu, and seaweed in it. There are some special foods which are eaten in specific places like kanimen, which is crab meat and roe stuffed in crab shell. People in Hokuriku usually eat them. I ate one for the first time, and it was amazing! I was sure kanimen and sake were best friends. After finishing the crab meat and roe, I poured some hot sake into empty shell and drank it. It completely knocked me out! By the way, I heard that crabs come to Tokyo by way of Shinkansen. Is that true?
