It's winter - time for nourishing, hearty stews. One stew that satisfies without widening the waistline is the Japanese oden. (I used to grab it at 7-Elevens in Tokyo.) Ariyoshi on Broadway has a nice selection: chicken meatballs, fish cake (fried or not), pork sausage, the slippery, granite-colored yam cake known as konnyaku, grilled tofu, hard-boiled egg, daikon and something called "beef muscle." Order a la carte for around $2 per item, or a $10 set.
Ariyoshi: 810 Broadway, (212) 388-1884.

The "beef muscle" is probably gyuusuji, beef tendons. They're a little chewy for my tastes but my wife digs them.
I presume this Ariyoshi is unrelated to the identically-named izakaya over on East 53rd St?
Hmm. Good question... I will have to find out if the two restaurants are related.
