From the 7-ELEVEN homepage
The 2016 version of "Oden" will be on sale from August 9th at each 7-ELEVEN store. This year, he said, "I pursued the deliciousness of the soup and ingredients."
First of all, "Tsuyu for preparation" has a finish that makes you feel the taste of bare feet more strongly. In addition, the soup, which is divided into eight areas (Hokkaido, Tohoku / Shinetsu, Kanto, Tokai, Kansai / Hokuriku, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu), has pursued a taste that better suits the tastes of the region.
At the same time, some ingredients have been reviewed by "pursuing further deliciousness". For example, "Taste radish" uses "suitable for oden" radish cultivated by devising a method, and by reviewing the manufacturing process, it is tailored so that you can enjoy the original taste of radish.
There are four new products this year: "Soft sesame soymilk heaven", "Edamame heaven", "True squid skewer" and "Black sesame skewer konjac".
