“🍢” meaning: oden, skewer Emoji

This emoji shows a skewer with a series of small and round food. It is oden, a traditional Japanese dish that is often enjoyed during the colder months. It looks like Dango🍡, but dango is a skewer of sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour.

Oden is a type of nabemono (one-pot dish🍲) that consists of various ingredients simmered in a soy-flavored dashi broth. The ingredients used in oden can vary widely, but common ones include daikon radish, boiled eggs, konnyaku (a jelly-like food made from konjac yam), and various types of processed fish cakes. These ingredients are skewered on wooden sticks and left to simmer in the broth for several hours, which allows them to absorb the flavors of the broth.

At its most basic, it's used to symbolize oden or other skewered food, such as Middle Eastern kebab, Brazilian churrasco or Chinese chuan. 🍢 is a popular choice when discussing barbecues, picnics, or street food. It can also be used in topics related to Japanese food culture.

It can also symbolize the idea of things being 'stuck together', making it a quirky way to talk about close relationships or tight-knit groups.
