Some time ago, there was a hit Japanese drama called "Proofreading Girl Kono Etsuko."
The heroine Kono who dreams of becoming an editor of a fashion magazine, like many people, is doing a job that she doesn't like.
But perhaps different from many people, Kono will be very beautiful and stylish every day, and go to work with a lot of blood.
Even more enviable is that Kono lives in a roomKanto cookingUpstairs in the restaurant, when the work or feelings are not smooth, you can chat with regular customers in the store, or invite a few friends to talk.
There is no difficulty. Kono's favorite big root (white radish) and hot spring tamako (coated egg) cannot be comforted.

The earliest I knew about Kanto was in various Taiwanese idol dramas.
Life is not going well, married by family members, or conflicts with girlfriends... The frustrated heroines will order a small bowl of oden and a bowl of sake at the street vendor at the end of the night.Tomorrow is another brand new day.

Sometimes, the heroine's love accidentally takes root in this cozy Oden cooking shop.
Kanto, this one from the Kanto region of JapanWarm food, Dip radish, kelp, fish balls, potatoes, bamboo wheels and other ingredients into the broth made from Muyu flower kelp, and cook slowly over low heat. The atmosphere of the ingredients and the flavor of the broth are connected.
When eating, add miso, soy sauce, or mustard and other dipping sauces to taste.
The container for cooking Oden is usually a square iron box, and the smiling master stands patiently and greets.
Every chilling night, if you want some hot soup and do n’t want to eat braces, this light food that you can hold in your palm will warm your hands and your stomach.

In my mind, Kanto is also a kind ofSimplicity and affectionWinter dishes.
Strung it on a bamboo stick and blow slowly, biting it down; or put it in a bowl, gently scoop it out, and share it intimately.
It is said that there is a joke in the food festival. If she is not deep in the world, she will bring her prosperity in the world, macarons in Paris, lamb stew in Morocco, and Sacher cakes in Vienna; if she goes through the vicissitudes of life, she will take her carousel, Asakusa'sKanto cooking, Tianjin's Pancake Fruit, Bahamas' Conch Salad.

Here, the food team has collected some delicious Kanto dishes from various places and shared them with everyone.
Winter nights are long, whether it's a windy day in Chicago, a blizzard day in Boston, New York, or a rainy day in Seattle, San Francisco. There is always such a unique deliciousness that can give you strength. After eating, no longer fear to push out the door and breathe the cold air.
Even in Los Angeles, where the sun is always shining, if your mood is low, there will always be such a warm food that can fill your lonely and cold heart.

At Yaskinara in Ktown, in addition to their signature spicy chicken feet, my favorite is this seafood Oden.
Like Japanese-style Kanto, Yaskinara chooses to use a small square iron pot, but the ingredients are extremely rich.

Tapas-style Japanese restaurant with full light-colored wooden interior. The interior space is wider than that of a typical Japanese restaurant. Skewers are the most popular.
You can choose your own Kanto cooking materials here. The soup base is particularly rich, with the freshness of wood carp flowers and a touch of oily aroma. It is especially suitable for moistening the throat when eating dry. Finally, don't forget to choose a dessert. I recommend Hojicha Panna Cotta, matcha flavored milk jelly.

Hawaii ｜ Musubi Cafe IYASUME
Picture from tastyislandhawaii
A family style rice ball shop, small and cozy. Every time I come, this ordinary little shop is full of people.
The style of oden is partial to convenience stores. The owner uses a small square iron pot to make oden, tofu, hot spring eggs, fish balls...everything, and the taste is unambiguous.
Although the weather in Hawaii is not necessary to cook off the cold in Kanto, light vegetarian food can also help to cool off the heat.
I also highly recommend the various masubi here, it is really delicious.

Sometimes I feel that Kanto is a subtle and ambiguous food. The color is soft, the taste is light, and the taste is soft and waxy.
There is no freshness of Hokkaido sashimi, no strong flavor of tonkotsu soup, no oily smell of Yakitori skewers, and no red tape of kaiseki cuisine.
But it is a simple, simple and warm existence. On the way home at night, the corner of the street convenience store is warm and powerful. Because, love is company.
