Whilst oden (a Japanese winter dish) has been around in canned form for quite some time now, and rather bizarrely earned itself a bilingual charter in the process, there does appear to be several versions of the terrific little tinned treat available.
For starters, there’s the more common, rather blandly designed variety.

But there is now also an anime inspired reworking of the soup-like snack.

Its Akihabara availability arguably making it an otaku-friendly hors d’oeuvre.
