When you mention "monjayaki," you take the Yurakucho Line to Tsukishima Station for the first time. As you step off the train at Tsukishima Station, you are greeted with a seemingly endless row of monjayaki restaurants. It's overwhelming how many there are, and it's sad that I can't tell the difference between them. I have to rely on Tabelog to find a good one without waiting in line. Intrigued by the catchphrase "Delicious without waiting," I enter a restaurant. A very friendly waiter suggests ordering edamame and then asks if I would like to try the monjayaki. Normally, carbs are for later, but it seems different with monjayaki. Starting with the classic mentaiko and cheese, it's delicious. Monjayaki is considered foreign food for people from Kansai, but this is tasty. Next, I try an unfamiliar menu item labeled as "super spicy" with chili peppers. It's actually spicy! I was in ecstasy exclaiming "It's hot!" while savoring the deliciousness.

I stopped by for lunch. I ordered mentaiko cheese monjayaki and negi shijimi monjayaki. They were enough on their own and went well with beer. I ended up having 3 beers at lunch. Next time, I want to try ordering yakisoba. I definitely want to come back again.

This is Tsukishima, the home of Monja. I visited a restaurant recommended by a friend. The Mentaiko Mochi Monja is my favorite. I'm happy that there is a lot of mentaiko on top. The Shiitake Butter Monja is quite hearty. I pour plenty of soy sauce on it and enjoy it with some drinks. The Akashōga Tempura Okonomiyaki is a refreshing way to finish the meal, with only red ginger and cabbage on the okonomiyaki. Since there is no mayonnaise on the table, ask the staff to bring it to you. I liked the strong flavor and generous amount of ingredients in the Monja. Thank you for the meal.

There are many Monja-yaki restaurants on Monja-yaki Street at Tsukishima Station. Customers have to cook the dish themselves as only the ingredients are provided. I have visited several restaurants on Monja-yaki Street and found the experience to be enjoyable, although not particularly unique compared to other places. However, after learning how to make Monja-yaki and Okonomiyaki properly, the food turned out to be very delicious. I wish the staff were a bit more proactive and friendly in their service.

I wanted to eat monjayaki after a long time, so I went to Tsukishima. There were so many shops on Monja Street that I didn't know which one was good, so I decided to try this one where there were customers and available seats. I ordered octopus salad, asparagus, oysters, and mentaiko cheese mojayaki. I remember this being the most recommended monjayaki. The salad was larger than I expected, so it was a good deal. The oysters had a slight fishy smell, so I couldn't eat them with just butter and ended up adding a little soy sauce. The monjayaki was reliably delicious. The first one was made by the staff if you asked. From the second one onwards, it was written that customers should try making it themselves for fun. The staff made it very efficiently. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

A friend recommended this restaurant to me. I stopped by on my way back from a business trip. I had beer and mentaiko cheese monjayaki during the day, and I was extremely satisfied with the delicious taste that became addictive. The service was prompt with a good balance of attentiveness. It was very popular even during the day. I would like to visit again when I have another business trip to Tokyo.

The taste and price were average. Customers who arrived after us and ordered after us had their okonomiyaki made before ours, which was forgotten and left unattended. After asking multiple times, they finally made ours. There was no apology for the delay. The service was terrible, so that's why I'm giving this rating.

I ordered okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and enoki butter. They were all delicious. The beer on the hot plate was great. However, the highball was a bit smoky and didn't pair well with the food. That was a bit disappointing about the drinks.

I wanted to eat monjayaki so I went to Tsukishima! I always eat okonomiyaki, so it's been years since I had monjayaki. I searched and found this restaurant. I went right when they opened for lunch, but it took quite a while for the food to come out. I decided to just have a beer while waiting. Even though it was a bit understaffed, the food finally came out and the staff made the monjayaki very carefully. I ordered mentaiko cheese monjayaki this time. I had a great time and decided that next time I will try the mentaiko monjayaki.

Visited Oshio Wa, a popular okonomiyaki restaurant in Tsukishima for the first time yesterday. Cheers to that! Had a refreshing Sapporo Black Label draft beer with a nice bitterness. The butter-grilled oysters, enoki mushrooms, and a touch of soy sauce were delicious. The Guinness rolled omelette was perfectly cooked. The okonomiyaki with mentaiko, cheese, mochi, and corned beef Baby Star was a flavorful combination. The beef tendon foil grill was rich and tasty. Also enjoyed a refreshing sweet potato shochu soda and a spicy curry cheese okonomiyaki. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience!

Tokyo business trip. I visited after more than ten years. It had been a while since I visited Tsukishima itself, so I came here without hesitation, thinking this was the place I used to frequent. It was quite crowded on a Sunday, but luckily we were able to get in without waiting. After we entered, there was a line of people waiting to get in. We ordered the classic mentaiko, mochi, and cheese okonomiyaki. We toasted with beer and when our order arrived, it was actually okonomiyaki... I had planned to order monjayaki, but I had forgotten, so it couldn't be helped. We quickly cooked and ate the okonomiyaki, and then ordered the monjayaki as a rematch. This time, I carefully made the dough, poured in the broth, and made my own monjayaki. As expected, the mentaiko, mochi, and cheese monjayaki here is the best. It's perfect as a drinking snack. We quickly finished both the okonomiyaki and monjayaki, and thoroughly enjoyed Tsukishima. I will definitely come back. Thank you, Oshio Washoten.

I visited Monja Street in Tsukishima. Of course, I came to eat monjayaki. It's a weekday at the end of the year, but it's crowded with tourists as expected. Since I hadn't decided on a specific shop, I went into a shop that was open for lunch. I ordered the "Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Monja" and the "Gomoku Tempura" okonomiyaki. Both are the most popular items on the menu. I think each one has its own unique way of cooking, but as long as it's delicious, I'm happy with it. And both were delicious! Isn't it amazing that someone came up with Mentaiko Mochi Cheese? It's fun to cook it yourself, and eating it while it's piping hot is great, right? It was a very satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

"I want to eat monjayaki." Daughter's friend: "If it's monjayaki, I want to go to Tsukishima!" So, on a holiday afternoon, we headed to Monja Street for the first time. However, when we visited the top-ranked restaurants on Tabelog, there were lines of over 20 people... What should we do? Where should we go? After some thought, I realized that since the ingredients are mostly the same, the taste may not vary that much, right? So, why not go to a place where we can sit right away? That's when we found this restaurant. We were seated immediately without any wait. They requested that we order at least 2 items, so we started with the "Mentaiko Mochi Cheese." My daughter and her friend were excitedly chatting. There were many young, good-looking male staff members. The service was polite, and they offered to make it for us, but my daughter and her friend decided to make it themselves. When we tried it, it was fragrant, chewy, and delicious. It was really good, but do the restaurants with long lines surpass this? I wondered as we quickly finished it. Next, we ordered the "Gyusuji Tempura" from the okonomiyaki section. It had large chunks of meat that made us wonder if it was really gyusuji (beef tendon). Although it looked small, by the time we finished eating, we were already full! After all, it's made with rice cakes and flour, right? If it was just monjayaki, we could have probably had three servings, right?"

Eating out with a customer. They suggested going to Tsukishima. Unlike Osaka, you have to cook everything yourself. The effort is enjoyable. There is a great selection of dishes to go with the drinks. Eating and cooking together with the customer might be surprisingly fun!

After exploring Tsukishima, we couldn't decide between yakiniku and monjayaki, but ultimately chose monjayaki! We ended up at this relatively empty place, which was a good choice as many other places had long lines or were crowded inside. We were able to relax at a table for four in a tatami room. It was a great decision! I can't really tell the difference in taste when it comes to monjayaki, so affordability and a relaxed atmosphere are key for me. We found a great deal on the menu - a set for two for 3600 yen, which included seafood, monjayaki, yakisoba or okonomiyaki, and ice cream. The seafood platter had large oysters, autumn salmon, and scallops, so it felt quite luxurious. I always struggle with how to cook monjayaki, so it was a good idea to ask the professional waitress for help, and it turned out delicious. This "Oshio" restaurant seems to be a well-established chain with 4-5 stores in Tsukishima, and the "Wa (Nagomi)" store we went to is the most popular. Luckily, we got a spacious seat without having to wait in line. The set we ordered was really worth it. Thank you for the meal!

Today was a holiday and I went to have lunch at Monja Street. I arrived around 12:50 pm and there were 2 groups waiting in front of the restaurant. Luckily, there was a bench outside so I could sit and wait. I only had to wait for 5 minutes before being seated. I ordered the mentaiko mochi cheese monja for 1490 yen, red ginger tempura for 830 yen, and oolong tea for 300 yen. With a coupon from Tabelog, I got enoki butter as a bonus. We grilled the enoki butter first, followed by the red ginger tempura (okonomiyaki). The red ginger added a lot of flavor and it was really delicious. It was fun to grill our own food and experiment with different techniques. Next, we made the monja yaki. Although I know how to make it, the hot plate was too hot, so the staff helped us out. It was a classic dish and tasted really good. It was a satisfying meal and I was very happy. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It was a busy night in the Tsukishima area, and most of the Monjayaki restaurants were full. After calling multiple places, we were lucky to make a reservation at this restaurant! Around 7:00 pm, there was a line outside the restaurant. We ordered the following items: Mentaiko mochi cheese ¥1,490, Baby Star (snack) ¥200, Cold cucumber ¥430, Grilled squid ¥830, Hanpen butter ¥580, Calpis (soft drink) ¥400, Cola ¥400. We also had a coupon for a free Teppanyaki dish from a food review website, so we got another dish for free (additional order required). We couldn't miss the grilled squid with butter and Mentaiko cheese Monjayaki, which were delicious! The cold cucumber was refreshing on a hot day, and the Mentaiko mochi cheese Monjayaki was a must-try with its large slices of spicy cod roe and Baby Star topping. The sauce was a bit strong, so we added some more to balance it out. The seating options included tables and sunken kotatsu tables, and there were many families with children. However, parking in this area was difficult to find on weekends, so be prepared to spend some time looking for a spot. With a wide variety of dishes, we spent around 4,000 yen for two people, making it a great value for tasty Monjayaki. Thank you for the meal!

I asked for them to cook Monja for me, but the staff said they only cook it once. My child can only eat yakisoba, so I asked if they could cook it for us or lend us an empty teppan next to us, but they refused. We had to quickly eat the Monja and make it ourselves. The taste of yakisoba varies depending on who makes it. If I had known they wouldn't cook it, I wouldn't have chosen this restaurant. I understand making Monja or okonomiyaki yourself, but I wanted to taste the professional's flavor. If that's the case, I'll just cook at home. They said self-service is the Tsukishima way, but places like Moheji will cook it for you. Very disappointing.

#Today's Spicy Adventure■ Oshio at Tsukishima Station, Wa-ten Spicy Monja, Super Spicy, 1,150 yenSpiciness Level: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (2)Stomachache Level: ★★☆☆☆ (2)Deliciousness Level: ★★★★★ (5)Spicy Adventure in Tsukishima! When you think of Tsukishima, you think of monja! This time, I came to eat monja at Oshio-san, a famous monja restaurant with multiple locations in Tsukishima. Each location is always crowded and very popular. This time, I visited the Wa-ten branch. Oshio-san has a wide variety of menu options! There are so many different types of monja to enjoy. I ordered the super spicy monja, because why not have spicy monja? I asked for it to be moderately spicy. When the super spicy monja arrived, it had kimchi in it! It didn't look too spicy at first, but when it was cooked on the hot plate, a spicy smell filled the air. However, when I tried it, it wasn't as spicy as I expected. But it was delicious in its own way! The flavor was like kimchi hot pot. I thought garlic would go well with this monja, so I added it as an extra topping. It was delicious even with the garlic. If you want to try a unique super spicy monja, definitely give this a try! Save this if you found it helpful. ✅

During the day, there are quite a few shops open at Monja Street. Among them, I chose "Oshio Wa." The most popular dish is the mentaiko mochi cheese for 1490 yen. Let's have the staff cook the first piece for us. They skillfully and quickly mix the ingredients on the griddle and pour in the broth. The monja spreads out on the hot plate! It's delicious. Other options include the Meat Baby Star for 1100 yen and the mochi cheese for 1100 yen. From the second piece onwards, let's have Mina-chan cook for us. Anyone can make delicious monja, which is one of its good points. The atmosphere and staff service here are great, making it a comfortable place to dine. After filling our stomachs, let's take a walk to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine!
