Another interesting moe food product from Japan.
I was walking around Daikanyama when I saw this Akihabara Oden
Curry selling in a vending machine, inside a lifestyle furnishing
shop!! There was a small note on the shelf giving a brief description
of what it is. Thank god the note’s in English.
What got my attention wasn’t the weird vending machine looking so out of place in a furnishing shop, but the very moe - looking Imouto (younger sister) on its cover saying "Tuck in, Oniichan (elder brother)". Manufactured by Daito and selling at only 500 Yen (SGD$6.60) a pack, I’d say it’s a steal!
The back cover details the ingredients (which are made up of
flavoured curry power, a quail’s egg, beef , sea kelp & radish -
quite standard for a Oden dish) and the methods of cooking. I wonder
why they even bother printing the cooking methods if Imouto chan here
is going to cook it for Oniichan anyway~
Anyway, molded after the popular concept of Oden Cans, this instant
Oden Curry was released in Akihabara on the 25th April this year and
was apparently sold out on its very first day of sale. I was just
wondering if there really were that many hungry Otakus doing the
Singaporean Queue for this curry.
By the way the packet of Oden Curry consist of ONLY curry. Don’t
expect rice to be in the same pack. You’ll most have to buy another
pack of white rice for 200 Yen.
How to cook Oden Curry:
- Insert the medium sized sealed aluminum pack into water and bring it to a boil. Cook the packet for 5 minutes
- Once done, transfer the content to a heatproof container, and heat
it up in the microwave set at 500W and approximately for 2 minutes. (Or
1 min 30 secs at 600W)
OR
- Sit and wait for Imouto chan to magically appear from the box & cook the curry for you.
