Summer Spicy Oden Initiative with Pati-chan

In an exciting culinary twist, the popular comedy trio, Pati-chan, has been appointed as the ambassadors for the Summer Spicy Oden campaign at Koronagirai, a well-known izakaya located in Tokyo. This initiative will officially kick off on June 1, 2026, and promises to elevate the oden experience by adding a spicy summer flair.

What is Spicy Oden?

Typically associated with cold weather, oden—a Japanese hot pot dish—will transform into a refreshing summer delight under the expert guidance of Pati-chan. The restaurant’s signature oden, featuring a variety of ingredients served as an all-you-can-eat option for 550 yen, will be given a makeover with a spicy twist using Sichuan pepper, spicy miso, and ultra spicy miso. This unique combination is designed to create an exhilarating summer snack that can be paired with cool beverages.

The Spiciness Experience

Diners will have the option to customize their heat level from four distinct stages:

• - 1 Spicy: Uses spicy miso for a mild kick.
• - 2 Spicy: Combines Sichuan pepper and spicy miso for added fragrance and complexity.
• - Oni Spicy (Demon Spicy): A punch of heat provided by ultra spicy miso, perfect for die-hard spice lovers.
• - Kami Spicy (God Spicy): A bravecombination incorporating all three elements for the ultimate challenge.

This customization allows friends and family to engage in an interactive experience where they can discuss and discover their preferred spice levels, enhancing the overall dining enjoyment.

Pati-chan’s Role as Ambassadors

Pati-chan, comprising comedic talents Sugachan, Nobuko, and Kyonchi, will play a pivotal role in promoting this initiative. The trio will feature in a collaboration video set to be released on Koronagirai’s official Instagram. In the video, Sugachan introduces Koronagirai as his “favorite go-to spot,” bringing his companions Nobuko and Kyonchi along for the adventure.

As they navigate the oden counter and sample the spicy variations, viewers will witness their delightful surprise at the refreshing summer take on oden. The video will highlight four major aspects: the oden counter experience, the spicy oden tasting, beverage pairings, and the izakaya's traditional grilled items, showcasing a vibrant summer outing.

Accessing the Spicy Oden Experience

Customers eager to explore the spicy oden experience can reference the collaboration video on Koronagirai’s official Instagram page. Accessible via QR codes displayed in the restaurant, diners will have real-time opportunities to confirm how to enjoy their customizable bowl of spicy oden.
