Summary
A profession that prepares and serves oden using stall-style vehicles or simple kitchens, selling on roadsides or event spaces.
Description
Street stall oden vendors use mobile stalls or kitchen cars to cook and sell oden. They simmer procured ingredients in dashi, maintain them at appropriate temperatures for constant readiness, and sell directly to customers. Sales locations vary, including roadsides, festivals, and event venues, with adjustments to opening hours and menus based on time and weather. They handle hygiene management, simple equipment operation, cash handling, and more, often alone or in small teams.
Future Outlook
Steady demand exists in tourist areas and local events, and entry as a sole proprietorship is easy, but labor shortages and rising costs from stricter hygiene regulations are challenges.
