Always Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshiyuki Uchida), a consolidated subsidiary of Hotland Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Morio Sase), which operates the 'Tsukiji Gindaco' chain, and runs tavern businesses such as 'Gindaco Highball Sakaba' and 'Motsuyaki Dokoro Ishi', will sequentially launch a summer-limited product, 'Chilled Oden', at its nationwide oden specialty restaurants 'Odenya Takeshi' and 'Oden to Robata Takeshi' (excluding some stores) from Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

A new sensation of 'cool oden' overturns the common belief that 'oden is for winter'

Last year, the 'Ago-dashi Chilled Oden', which was sold at a limited number of stores and received favorable reviews, will be available this year at an expanded number of stores. Additionally, we have prepared two types of 'Chilled Oden', including the newly added 'Chicken-dashi Chilled Oden'. It features an elegant umami that spreads the moment you put it in your mouth and a refreshing aftertaste created by the coldness. Chilling the ingredients also highlights the texture and flavor of each ingredient, allowing you to enjoy a charm different from conventional oden.

Enjoy the elegant and profound umami with 'Ago-dashi Chilled Oden'

It uses Takeshi's proud 'ago-dashi' (flying fish broth), which makes the most of the rich aroma and umami of seafood. By chilling the ingredients that have thoroughly absorbed the broth, the original deliciousness of the ingredients is further enhanced. The clean yet profound flavor pairs excellently with alcoholic beverages.

Lineup (5 items): Daikon radish / Satsuma-age fried fish cake / Chikuwa fish cake / Egg / Shirataki noodles

Rich yet refreshing. A new summer proposal: 'Chicken-dashi Chilled Oden'

The 'Chicken-dashi Chilled Oden' is newly introduced this year. The special chicken broth, developed exclusively for chilled oden, retains the richness and mildness of chicken while having a surprisingly clean aftertaste. It is finished with an addictive flavor that makes you want to take another bite. *Available only at 'Odenya Takeshi' stores.

Lineup (3 items): Tomato / Chicken-dashi Daikon / Young corn *Photo shows the assortment

If you're undecided, start with the 'Assortment'

We also offer an 'Assortment' recommended for first-timers. Please enjoy the summer-only 'Chilled Oden' while comparing the distinct characteristics of the ago-dashi and chicken-dashi.

Finishing menu also renewed for summer

Summer-limited finishing menu items to enjoy alongside the chilled oden are also available.

The 'Chilled Zaru Soba', which allows you to choose from two types of broth, has a smooth and refreshing taste. The 'Ago-dashi Fisherman's Rice Bowl', topped with a special namerou (minced fish), is a finishing dish perfect for the hot season, easily eaten with the umami-rich broth. Please enjoy the cool flavors until the very end of your meal.

Take this opportunity to enjoy the summer-only 'Cool Oden'.

'Odenya Takeshi's 'Chilled Oden' allows you to enjoy 'oden', often thought of as a winter staple, in a summer style. The chilled broth, the umami of the ingredients, and the flavor that pairs perfectly with alcohol might become a new summer tradition.

As the heat increases, please enjoy an early 'cool' experience at 'Odenya Takeshi' or 'Oden to Robata Takeshi'.

About the 'Odenya Takeshi' Brand

'Odenya Takeshi' is an oden specialty restaurant that was born in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 2019, offering creative oden using two types of broth: 'ago-dashi' and 'chicken-dashi'. In addition to a wide variety of creative oden that brings out the umami of ingredients, it offers fresh seafood dishes sourced directly from the market and a rich selection of drinks including sake (including the famous broth-splits). With the concept of 'an oden restaurant you can casually visit', it operates nationwide as an izakaya-style restaurant catering to a wide range of occasions, from solo diners to couples, friends, and colleagues.

From 2025, as a new brand development, 'Oden to Robata Takeshi' was created, integrating 'robatayaki' (hearth grilling) characterized by the sense of realism of cooking in front of you, followed by 'Oden to Yakitori Takeshi' in May 2026. By combining creative oden that makes the most of the umami of the broth with robatayaki and yakitori that boldly grill ingredients, we provide a new dining experience where you can enjoy the aromas, sounds, and craftsmanship of the chefs with all five senses. We will continue to pursue new charms and possibilities of oden, aiming to be a brand that keeps evolving.
