Oden is a dish made with ground fish cakes simmered in broth, and it has become a symbol of street food culture in Korea. While called "oden" in Japan and also sometimes in Korea, it's also known as "eomuk" in Korea, and the cooking methods and ways of eating it differ slightly between the two countries.

Recently, with "oden hotspots" trending on social media, modern oden specialty restaurants targeting younger generations are increasing. In particular, restaurants that differentiate themselves with various types of fish cakes and special broths are gaining popularity.
