Oden - Japanese Style Soup meatless

Oden is a winter warmer soup that is a family affair in Japanese households. It is often eaten just with a couple of vegetables or with meat or fish or both.

I decided to try a vegetarian version and had some potato and cream filled dumplings and some glutenous rice balls with it.

This is something you can find in many convienient stores in Japan from autumn to spring. I saw it the first time in Kyoto at a 7/11 shop. Beside the cashir place was a bin with hot soup and many different veggies and meats were simmering in. They actually did not look so appertizing, buf I know now that they were probably delucious.
You have to tell the cashir what you want to eat and you will get a bowl of it.
