Two weeks ago my host family and I went to one of their friends houses for an oden party. Oden is a Japanese dish that the Japanese like to eat to warm up in the winter. Inside oden is usually konnyaku, boiled eggs, radish, tofu, mochi, and fish cakes mixed in with a soy broth. It is really hot broth so it warms you up quickly. People like to eat oden with hot mustard. A big pot sat over a hot plate with all the ingredients boiling and we could take out whatever we wanted to eat. They also had pizza delivered for me but I really like oden so I didn't eat much of the pizza. The apartment was downtown. People in Japan call those apartments "mansions." The view was so beautiful because of all the lights in Nagasaki.
