Overview
Akabane is known as a sacred place for non-humans with its unpretentious izakaya (Japanese style pubs). In one corner of the area, there is a “standing oden shop” with a long line of customers standing in line from morning. The customers range from security guards on their way home from the night shift who enjoy a morning drink alone, to mothers who buy oden for their families, to businessmen who enjoy a night out in Akabane by visiting a number of izakayas. Chewing on their signature hanpen and drinking a cup of sake with hot broth and “dashiwari,” a drink made from a cup of sake, will keep your body and soul warm and refreshed. This is the story of a man and a woman who huddle together under a cold windy sky and enjoy oden.
