1. TIL they serve oden at the convenience store lol

2. “Street Food” is not a 24 hour convenience store!

3. I would hesitate to call convenience store oden real food, let alone street food. Convenience store food is chock full of additives/preservatives 

4. OMG I miss konbinis, especially for food needs at weird hours.

5. Nice. Is it like that on some of the 7eleven stores?.

6. The price of knowledge

7. the 7/11 across my dorm has oden at 50% off starting from 9 pm 🤤🤤

8. Are you American by any chance?

9. Man, nothing hits like making a hot pot of oden on a freezing day. Just chipping away at it all day, it’s so perfect lol.

10. I mean… is oden street food? Ive never oden outside of when my mom wanted to make it at home. Maybe saw a yatai of it once?

11. I would love to have oden at our convenience store here in Canada 🥰

12. [removed]

13. This is the equivalent of going to an American gas station, getting gas station nachos, and posting it while saying wow Mexican street food is available 24 hours in America!

    ….I wish Lawson’s had gas station nachos though 

14. Street food? Bro that’s a convenience store found every 500 ft

15. The definition of street food is a bit blurry, but I do miss buying random bags of soup from outdoor markets in Thailand. True outdoor ‘yatai’ culture is pretty much dead in Japan and only exist as tourist attractions, and the same is happening (albeit slowly) in Thailand too

16. You should get nikuman too. So good.

17. Matcha Samurai would be proud

18. That’s not real street food bro.

19. Omg this is one of the top things I miss about Japan. This food from Lawson. Or the hot and cold bottles tea from vending machines.

20. Love oden

21. First night in Japan, OP?

22. Why do they have Indian guys working in japan

23. Did you get the spicy mustard packet to go with it.

24. Well played!

25. ITT: Lots of grumpy gatekeeping weirdos

26. Daikon radish always refreshing to eat.

27. I stumbled in here from r/popular and I’m sorry but I have to say it.

    That both looks and sounds disgusting.

28. ODEN RULES

29. [deleted]

30. It isn’t ODEN if it isn’t boiled!!!!

    

31. Dang that’s expensive

32. Ngl looks disgusting

33. looks tasty!

34. Saw this with my glasses off and thought it was British food (lots of brown on brown)

35. Oh I miss conbini oden so much…

36. Damn, what market is that? I went to plenty of convenience stores while visiting and didn’t find anything like that. All the convenience store food was still great though.

37. I know it’s mean but if you post gas station food as “real street food” then people are going to make fun of the post lol. Especially when it’s just as unhealthy as corndogs or nachos.

38. I would not eat this (look carefully… bugs are swimming in it)
