This innovative cooking solution allows everyone to enjoy a rich, authentic oden experience in just about 10 minutes, combining handmade feel with time efficiency.
Product Features

2.
Tender Beef Tendon: The beef tendon is diced into convenient bite-sized pieces that have been slow-cooked until tender, giving a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
3.
Flavor Profile: The sauce is crafted with a luxurious combination of bonito and kelp stock, enhanced with rich beef broth, all finished off in a light soy sauce base.
Development Background
The market for oden, a beloved Japanese comfort food, has been expanding steadily. Recent surveys indicate a year-on-year increase of oden presence at home, growing 3% compared to the previous year. However, consumers have expressed common concerns about store-bought oden, such as overcooked ingredients, small portions, and overpowering flavors. Many also find the preparation process for a homemade oden, particularly the pre-boiling of radish and tenderizing beef tendon, to be too time-consuming.
To address these concerns, Morinabon developed a solution that pre-cooks these key ingredients, allowing quick 10-minute preparation. This design enables consumers to create a personalized oden experience quickly and easily, without sacrificing quality or flavor.
Regional Oden Variations
Oden is not just one dish but a canvas that varies significantly across different regions of Japan. To promote the diversity of oden, Morinabon plans to showcase how customers can recreate regional styles in their own homes. This encourages creativity and exploration in enjoying oden, and makes it a more engaging experience.
