Shizuoka’s own dark-broth oden — skewered ingredients in a rich stock, dusted with fish powder and aonori — served at cramped, atmospheric stalls in Aoba Yokocho near Shizuoka Station. Timing caveat: most stalls open late afternoon, so this only fits calls with an evening departure. Check your all-aboard time first.
