In my 4 years stay in Japan, I have seen a lot of different foods and dishes. From eating ikuradon to nattou and uni and lately uma sashimi (horse meat sashimi). There are a lot different dishes that I haven't tried yet well some of which are the common canned foods or snacks. I have tried canned soups (mostly corn soup) but I yet to try canned oden and the newly released canned ramen. A short description of oden from the wikipedia is written as follows.
Oden is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku and processed fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth. Ingredients vary according to region and between each household. Karashi (Japanese mustard) is often used as a condiment.
Oden in can have become one of the popular otaku foods. When you go to akihabara you will see a lot of different kinds of oden in can. I'm planning to try both oden in can and ramen in can this weekend. A few of the brands and pictures of what's inside is as follows.

Go taste them, and let us know how you like or hate them.
You can do it. You have four years of preparing your taste buds so that you can stomach these kinds of food.
Plus, we'll be cheering for you in spirit! Iku, iku, GO, GO, GO!!!
