Our Story

Oden is an oden focused Japanese sake bar in Melbourne, where comforting food and thoughtful drinking come together. While oden sits at the heart of our menu, our experience is designed as a sake bar first, a place to enjoy Japanese sake alongside warm, seasonal dishes.

Our oden is built around carefully prepared ingredients and gently simmered oden broth, offering depth, balance, and comfort. Alongside this, we offer a wide and curated selection of Japanese sake, chosen to suit both casual drinks and longer, more considered evenings. Using local Australian produce and Japanese technique, Oden brings together tradition and modern hospitality, a relaxed oden sake bar where guests are welcome to drink, share, and stay.
