About this place
At Yatai Inaba, a good way to begin is to choose a few pieces of oden, then add another dish or a drink that catches your eye. The menu lists daikon radish, egg, shirataki noodles, kuruma-fu wheat gluten and hanpen fish cake, among other options, each priced at 100 yen. Some visitors mention enjoying daikon, beef tendon and egg together. With individual pieces available, you can start with oden and build your meal around whatever appeals.
Potato salad is another dish worth considering. The menu describes it as made with potato and egg from the oden pot, and diners have also noted the flavour of the oden broth. It offers a chance to try a dish that makes use of the oden ingredients in a different way. Another diner described the egg potato salad as lightly seasoned, adding a further impression of the same dish.
There are fried dishes, too. The menu lists karaage made with chicken thigh at 300 yen, and one visitor remembers its light, crisp coating and juicy centre. Other options include chikuwa fish cake in seaweed batter and fried red ginger. These make an easy change of pace from oden, and one diner specifically enjoyed the red ginger. A few small plates or fried dishes can help round out the meal.
Drinks include beer and sake. The listed selection includes Kyo Hime from Kyoto and Suigei from Kochi, making it possible to enjoy a drink with oden or focus on a meal. This small oden restaurant is in Tōrō-chō, Shimogyo Ward, and offers dine-in service. Visitors describe the space as compact, so if you are going with a group, it may be worth checking on seating.
