The History of Kanazawa Oden and "Seasonal Oden Jun"

The origins of Kanazawa oden date back to 1920. It is made with bonito flakes to make the stock, "jiwamon" (local ingredients in Kanazawa dialect) and light soy sauce from Ono, and even the soup is light, which is what makes Kanazawa oden so special. Since the Hokuriku Shinkansen opened in 2015, Kanazawa oden has been getting even more attention.

For "Seasonal Oden Jun," the soup stock is made using Rausu kelp and coarsely shaved dried bonito flakes, and then Ohno's light soy sauce is added to this first stock to create a soup that has a strong umami flavor.

Ingredients and approaches unique to Kanazawa

The "Kanazawa-ness" of "Seasonal Oden Jun" is not limited to the broth. The oden ingredients include "jiwamon" (local delicacies) such as "ume shellfish" and "wheel-shaped gluten," as well as local tofu made using traditional methods. In addition, Kaga vegetables are used in abundance, and a wide selection of local sake from Kaga and Noto is available, so that each dish is designed to give you a taste of Kanazawa. The dishes served are made of Kutani ware, a traditional craft of Ishikawa Prefecture, so "Seasonal Oden Jun" is particular about making the oden visually enjoyable as well.

Communication and Food Culture

Nishimura says, "I want people to not only enjoy the taste of oden, but also to feel the importance of communication through it." He says he aims to create a place where people can communicate with each other, not just enjoy their meal, but also talk with the owner and the people sitting next to them.

"Seasonal Oden Jun" is a rare oden restaurant in Kanazawa that accepts reservations. This popular long-established restaurant does not have a reservation system, and if you visit on the day, you may have to wait for four hours. By making a reservation, you can enjoy not only the oden but also plenty of communication in the restaurant. This is the true charm of Jun. We recommend that you make your reservation by phone by around noon on the day.
