AKABANE: Maruken Suisan Oden and Sake! WOW... this place had an line the whole time!


First time in my life to goto Akabane... just 10 minutes from Ikebukuro and this is foodie alcohol heaven!  There are so many small non-franchise spots.

Here we go!  A super popular oden grocer that serves sake and hot oden.


The most popular is Stamina Ahgeh... but all sold out.


Huge tray of piping hot oden sections.


I assume he was the owner... serving and also collecting money but he was had an eye for loud drunks and shooe'd them off.

My selection with a few pieces and One Cup of sake was around 900 yen...  It was good! Especially liked the shumai or was it gyoza oden.




Don't drink all of your sake.. leave about 1/5 then go get a 50 yen fill of the oden soup... called Oden-Wari (mixed with oden soup).   Totally warms you up.


If in Akabane you gotta try this spot... the staff will lead you to a shared standing table so for those few minutes it takes you to eat the oden and drink your sake you can chat up those around you.
