Ashiya Tanoshiya
A renowned restaurant serving salt-seasoned oden that brings out the full flavor of each ingredient.
Ashiya Tanoshiya is an oden restaurant in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, renowned for its signature salt-seasoned oden, which brings out the full flavor of each ingredient.
After beginning to develop the recipe in 2000 and operating in Sannomiya, Kobe, the restaurant moved to its current location in 2010. Refined over more than 20 years, its special broth combines chicken bones, dried sardines, bonito, and kelp. Though seasoned only with salt, it has a remarkably rich, complex flavor.
Along with staples such as daikon radish and eggs, the menu features distinctive ingredients including scallops, shrimp-stuffed shiitake mushrooms, yuba rolls, and broccoli. Another highlight is pairing them with sake or wine carefully selected by the owner, who is both a certified sommelier and sake sommelier.
The calm interior, accented by the warmth of wood, creates the comfort of returning home. It is suitable for a wide range of occasions, from family outings and meals with a small group to drinks on your own.
