1. Oden

What’s a visit to Family Mart without getting their oden, amirite? Savour the flavourful broth of a FamilyMart classic. You can’t go wrong with the classic or tom yam flavour — both are delicious! List of oden choices: Udon, shabu noodle, atjisuke tamago, daikon (radish), corn, mini snow crab cake, seafood tofu fish cake, crab fish cake, veggie fish cake, king crab chunk, Korean odeng fish cake, lobster ball, chicken ball, white fish ball, fried fish ball, fish cake slice. So many choices! The atjisuke tamago (marinated soft-boiled egg) won’t be found in the oden cooker since it’s stored separately, so don’t be afraid to ask for it! Pssst, you can also add on noodles to complete your meal.
