Oden
Oden is a Japanese fish cake soup with hard boiled eggs and daikon; all simmered in a dashi/soy sauce broth. Oden is mostly found at Japanese street carts, but can be found at many izakayas. What is great about this soup is that it is a one pot dish that comes together in 30 minutes. The oden is served with togarashi pepper sprinkled on top with a side of hot Japanese mustard to dip the fish cakes in.
