When I think oden, I think of those perpetually bubbling tubs of fish cakes in stew, found ubiquitously in Japanese convenience stores throughout the colder months. Oden Sake Bar is here to prove that this winter staple is more than just a food safety nightmare. But despite the traditional comfort that is oden, this sake bar actually feels distinctly modern, with its moody interior humming with jazz, and a menu that borrows effortlessly from across the globe. It is a lovely, unique, and thoughtful addition to the city.I’ve told this story a million times. I used to love steamed egg custard as a child, until I one time I went way too ham on it, and subsequently could not look at it again for like a whole decade. Anyway, Chawanmushi ($6) is what’s been slowly rehabilitating the steamed egg genre for me. This is a really fun take, the strong seafood notes highlighted by the unexpected fresh umami of the tomato and dill oil.Continuing the theme, the Spring Roll ($4ea) is stuffed with avocado and oozy camembert for maximal textural contrast to the crispy pastry. The cheese is surprisingly musky, pairing well with the hint of sweetness in the spicy mayo.
