DEBU loves Monja in Tsukishima so much that he once lived alone in Tsukishima because of it. Or rather, it was more like "futari-gurashi" (living with two people) than living alone. After exploring various Monja restaurants in Tsukishima and personally favoring the creative ideas at "Himezen," a new star that seems to surpass it has been discovered! That is the restaurant "Koboreya" located along the Monja Street in Tsukishima, which has been open for just over a year. Looking at the menu, you can see the incredible dedication to ingredients such as soup stock and tempura scraps. Alcohol at Monja restaurants in Tsukishima tends to be on the pricier side, with some places charging 600 yen for a highball or oolong high, but here, alcohol starts at 480 yen, and soft drinks are 380 yen, making the drinks reasonably priced. The dish "Koboreya Monja" is overflowing with ingredients, as the name suggests. Cabbage serves as the base, topped with large oysters, plenty of clams, chopped squid legs, as well as shrimp and Edomae anago hidden on the other side. The seafood mix is so rich that it's overflowing, and the use of lard (100% pork fat) on the tabletop adds even more flavor. When the seafood Monja is ready to eat, the fish flavors burst in your mouth, with a hint of sansho pepper for a tangy kick. The dish doesn't get boring thanks to the crunchy cabbage, refreshing ginger, and savory aftertaste. The "Pork Belly and Coarsely Ground Meat Yakisoba" is another delicious choice, with thick, shiny noodles coated in garlic soy sauce that enhances the aroma of burnt soy sauce. DEBU, being a creature that thoroughly enjoys discovering delicious restaurants, also tries the "Jet Black Monja," topped with squid ink and irresistible cheese. The dish is a mix of squid ink, firefly squid, octopus, and squid legs, with tempura scraps sourced from "Tempura Abe@Ginza," adding depth to the umami flavors. Butter is also added to this Monja, creating a rich and satisfying taste. This level of dedication to ingredients is hard to find in Tsukishima Monja restaurants, and despite its 3.07 rating on Tabelog, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit.

Tonight we went to Monja Yaki, Tsukishima Monja Koboreya Honten. The street was bustling with reserved customers, walk-in customers, and various other patrons. We were seated at a table for four and decided to consult with the staff about the menu since we were unfamiliar with how to cook the dishes and the best way to enjoy them. We ended up choosing the special "Kizuna Course" for two people, which included two types of Monja, one Okonomiyaki, and a dessert, all for 4,389 yen. The staff recommended starting with a beer, and we toasted to our night out in Tsukishima. The first dish we ordered was the Hiroshima Oysters for 1,089 yen, which were delicious when cooked on the hot plate. The Monja dishes were served next, followed by a side of cucumber and plum salad. We also ordered a special Monja called Tsukishima Curry, which was only available in certain courses. The Okonomiyaki we chose was the Asari Negi Cheese Ten, which was cooked to perfection and topped with mayonnaise. We declined any additional dishes and ended our meal with a delicious Warabi Mochi dessert. Overall, the Monja Yaki and sake combination was a delightful experience.

I made a reservation for 11:00 on a holiday and visited the restaurant. It is located away from Tsukishima Station and seems to have fewer walk-in customers. The prices were a bit higher than the monjayaki restaurants in the city center, but the restaurant was clean and the monjayaki was delicious. However, the most shocking thing was the yakisoba. I would like to visit again just to eat that.

I went to the Monja restaurant Koboreya main store in Tsukishima. I made a reservation for 11 AM and when I arrived, the place was almost full. The restaurant has about 6 tables for 4 people each, so it's better to make a reservation to secure a spot. The Monja had a rich broth and the pickled nagaimo (long yam) was delicious. However, the asparagus had tough skin, which was a bit disappointing. Even if you're not sure how to cook Monja, the staff will do it for you, so you can feel at ease dining there.

I visited Koboreya, the main store located in Tsukishima Monja Street. I had a sudden craving for monja, so I brought some colleagues from work. We tried the Hokkai Kenran monja (with salmon, scallops, flying fish roe, and raw sakura shrimp cooked in butter soy sauce), traditional pork tempura okonomiyaki, Kyoto-style beef tendon yakisoba, and Yamagata beef tripe teppanyaki, among other dishes. We started with a Ramune sour for a toast. I heard that Koboreya serves delicious monja with a focus on the broth in the competitive Tsukishima Monja Street. The presentation of the monja was impressive, with the Hokkai Kenran overflowing with seafood. The salmon was practically jumping out of the dish. The monja was packed with ingredients and had a rich flavor with a hint of butter. The flying fish roe sprinkled on top added a nice touch. The okonomiyaki was incredibly fluffy, a far cry from what I could make myself. The traditional simple okonomiyaki was also excellent. The beef tendon teppanyaki was outstanding, and the beef tendon yakisoba with a soy sauce base and ginger was light and delicious. The raw yam salad was a great accompaniment to drinks. There were also various creative monja dishes on the menu that caught my eye. I will definitely come back when I crave monja again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

We chose the "Kizuna" special course for two people, which came with all-you-can-drink option. It was a great deal for us who enjoy drinking. The portion was satisfying for the two of us, and the food was delicious! The service was polite, the atmosphere was calm and clean. It was a great experience overall.

Reservation required! I made a reservation for Sunday evening at 4:30 pm. The restaurant was already fully booked with reservations, so there was no chance of waiting. I ordered the mentaiko monja (with cheese topping) and the shikkoku monja! The mentaiko mochi monja was a classic and delicious, with the mentaiko flavor standing out! The shikkoku monja didn't look black at first, but when it was actually made, it turned completely black...! The squid pieces were large, which added to the satisfying texture of the monja! We also ordered okonomiyaki and shiitake mushrooms. Everything was delicious, and I would love to come back again! The fact that you can make reservations at Monja Street is also a recommended point!

One day during summer vacation, I wanted to do something relaxing and touristy, so I decided to visit a popular tourist spot in Tokyo - Tsukishima, known for its monjayaki. The Monja Street in Tsukishima is lined with over 50 monjayaki restaurants, and the whole street is filled with the delicious aroma of monja. I went to Koboreya, a restaurant located between Tsukishima and Kachidoki, which is known for its traditional monjayaki with a modern twist. I ordered the following dishes: Yamagata beef Kyoto-style sukiyaki, Koboreya monja with Tsukiji seafood, Yamagata beef tripe special soy sauce yakisoba, and beef tendon simmered dish. While enjoying the beef tendon dish with a beer, I was surprised by how quickly the monjayaki dishes were prepared. The delicate and rich broth used in the monjayaki gave it a refined and delicious flavor. The Kyoto-style sukiyaki made with Yamagata beef rib roast had a unique taste that evolved from a meaty flavor to a soy sauce base with the aroma of Mitsuba. The Koboreya monja, made with fresh seafood from Tsukiji, was a flavorful combination of red shrimp, conger eel, oysters, scallops, clams, and squid, all cooked to perfection. The yakisoba made with beef tripe was a delightful dish with a generous amount of tender beef tripe and a perfect balance of flavors. Overall, Koboreya impressed me with its attention to detail in using high-quality ingredients and creating delicious monjayaki dishes that left me feeling satisfied and content.

Invited by a friend to try "creative monjayaki." It's been a while since I visited Tsukishima, but just walking down Monja Street is enjoyable. There are many other shops here, so be careful when meeting up! We ordered a seafood-rich monjayaki called "Koboreya" and a luxurious monjayaki called "Yamagata beef Kyoto-style sukiyaki." While waiting for the monjayaki to arrive, we enjoyed "beef tendon stew" and Ebisu draft beer. When the monjayaki arrived... I've never seen anything like it! It looks so extravagant! The staff cooked the monjayaki for us. "Koboreya" was filled with red shrimp, scallops, conger eel, oysters, clams, and squid, offering a rich and flavorful taste! It was so delicious that we couldn't believe it was monjayaki. The "Yamagata beef Kyoto-style sukiyaki" was topped with beautifully marbled Yamagata beef rib roast, and the secret to its taste was the sauce from Imahan! After eating half of it, we mixed in a raw egg for a fluffy parent-child rice bowl-like dish, with mitsuba adding a nice touch. Both dishes had a gentle flavor that transformed the concept of monjayaki. For dessert, we had the "Yamagata motsu special soy sauce yakisoba." The staff also cooked this for us. The aroma of garlic-infused soy sauce increased our appetite in contrast to the gentle monjayaki. The variety of alcoholic beverages was impressive, and the Ramune sour was refreshing and perfect for summer. I recommend this restaurant to those who want to try a different kind of monjayaki than usual.

I enjoyed a long-awaited monjayaki. In addition, I also had okonomiyaki and yakisoba, and I was very satisfied. Especially the monjayaki that I ordered, named after the restaurant, was delicious. It was filled with fresh shrimp, oysters, clams, octopus, squid, and more, making it a seafood feast. The warabi mochi dessert I had at the end was also delicious. However, eating in front of a hot iron plate in the middle of summer was really hot.

I think the high-end ingredients and extravagant presentation are popular, but I feel like they don't need to do that for monjayaki. The old-fashioned monjayaki was simple and the most delicious! The sauce is relatively strong in flavor! Recommended for those aiming for Instagram-worthy photos!!

First time eating Monja on the Monja Street! The interior and exterior of the restaurant were clean and the food was delicious, but I felt the lack of hospitality and poor service from the staff at key points. For example, when entering, we had to write our name on a board outside and wait, but even when our name was next, they kept calling out names of people not on the board... We ended up waiting for about 10 groups to be called. Maybe those were people who made reservations online, but it would have been nice if they had mentioned that on the board. Also, at the table next to us, there were foreign customers struggling to cook their Monja, and I couldn't help but think I should have helped them! The cost performance was okay, so I would rate it 3.5 out of 5!

The seafood is incredibly fresh, sourced directly from Tsukiji wholesale market. The highest quality tempura crumbs from the Michelin-listed "Tempura Abe."

Blog "Tokyu Line, Foodie Adventures" - https://asante.blog/ On this day, I decided to go to Tsukishima to have some "monja". When you think of "monja", you think of Tsukishima, home to the famous "Monja Street". It had been about 20 years since I last had "monja". Back then, I didn't have a strong impression of it, as I preferred "okonomiyaki" being from Kansai. This time, armed with some information, I decided to visit the main branch of "Tsukishima Monja Koboreya". Upon entering at the reserved time, I found a cozy space with 6 tables seating around 24 people. The atmosphere was typical of a monja restaurant. There were local families in yukatas enjoying their meal, which added to the welcoming vibe of the place. We started with two Ebisu draft beers to cool down in the summer heat of 2023. For food, we ordered the signature "Monja Koboreya", "Cucumber Tataki with Nankou Ume Dressing", and "Simmered Beef Tendon". Not knowing how filling the "monja" would be, we also added the "Monja Mentaiko Mochi" and a cheese topping. To accompany our meal, we also ordered a Highball and a Grapefruit Sour. The first "Monja Koboreya" was loaded with seafood like conger eel, oysters, shrimp, scallops, clams, and squid. The conger eel was particularly impressive, and the overflowing presentation got us excited. The staff graciously cooked the "monja" for us, as we were clueless about the process. We enjoyed the refreshing "Cucumber Tataki" and the hearty "Simmered Beef Tendon" while waiting. Eating the freshly cooked "monja" with a small spatula was a delight, with the hot sizzling flavors. We added the "Monja Mentaiko Mochi" which came highly recommended, especially with the cheese topping. It was indeed a popular choice and a must-try in Tsukishima. The combination of spicy cod roe, chewy rice cake, and cheese was a harmonious blend of flavors. After eating and drinking, the bill came out to around 4000 yen per person. It was a delicious and casual dining experience that I would recommend. Thank you for the meal.

I tried a real Monjayaki for the first time, and I was very satisfied with the flavorful taste and variety of ingredients. The Monja I had included red shrimp, eel, oysters, scallops, clams, and squid, making it very luxurious. The seafood broth in the Monja was really delicious. The meat option I had was duck and green onion Monja! It had a lot of green onions which added sweetness, along with the delicious flavor and texture of the duck. The sauce was perfect and I loved it! I had three glasses of sake and the total was around 4700 yen for what I ate: overflowing Monja, duck and green onion Monja, red bean pancake, cucumber, and high-sugar content tomato.

I made a reservation and visited for lunch. The dishes not only looked good but also tasted delicious. The appetizers other than the Monja-yaki also paired well with the Monja-yaki and stimulated my appetite. The interior of the restaurant was clean and cozy.

I had never been to Monja Street before, so I met up with my wife and decided to check it out. There were about four blocks of Monja restaurants, making it hard to choose which one to go to. Luckily, it was a weekday and early, so the restaurants were not crowded. We ordered Monja and Okonomiyaki, and the Monja was pretty good but similar to other places. However, the Okonomiyaki was amazing - fluffy and delicious! It was unlike anything I had ever eaten before, and I was really impressed. It was so delicious that I would love to go back again.

It had been 5 years since I last had Monjayaki. After work, I went with my colleagues to a Monja restaurant. The Monja journey was like a mysterious path. There was no one outside, but every restaurant we tried was full. It felt like a town from another world. This time, the Monjayaki was seriously delicious! I had never tasted such delicious Monjayaki before. I used to think that Monjayaki was just okay, but my perception has changed. The seafood Monja, beef tripe Monja, everything was delicious. Especially the last dish, green tea sweet red bean paste roll, was so delicious that it made me happy. The young man who made the Monjayaki was very kind and professional. He provided excellent service. I had a really good meal. Thank you so much.

In 1892, an artificial island called Tsukishima was created using sand and soil dredged from Tokyo Bay. Initially named Tsukishima, it was later changed to distinguish it from the nearby Tsukiji. Tsukishima is known for its traditional monjayaki restaurants, with over 70 establishments in the area. Today, let's take a stroll through the monjayaki theme park. Today's feature is Tsukishima Monja Koboreya Honten, located just a 4-minute walk from Tsukishima Station. The restaurant offers a variety of creative monjayaki dishes made with carefully selected ingredients and a rich broth. The menu includes dishes using fresh seafood sourced directly from Tsukiji market and premium tempura flakes from a Michelin-listed restaurant. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a selection of 13 different monjayaki dishes, each with its own distinctive flavor. Tsukishima is also home to several sister restaurants, including Tsukishima Monja Koboreya Yui, Koshitsu Monja Koboreya Iwa, and Tsukishima Monja Koboreya Bettei. I visited the restaurant on a weekday evening by reservation and enjoyed the bustling atmosphere of Tsukishima. The area is filled with monjayaki restaurants and izakayas, creating a lively and exciting dining scene. As I walked through Monja Street, I couldn't help but smile at the numerous restaurants lining the street. The street is divided into four blocks, each offering a unique dining experience. The street is part of the Tsukishima Nishinakadori Shotengai, a shopping district that runs straight from Tsukishima Station. The street offers a variety of shops, including a souvenir shop selling tickets and goods. It felt like a theme park for food lovers. One thing that impressed me was the availability of free Wi-Fi throughout the area, making it convenient for visitors. As I arrived at Koboreya, I noticed the inviting outdoor seating area and stylish exterior. The interior of the restaurant was cozy and modern, with a calm atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the seating was comfortable, with convenient storage space under the tables. The restaurant's custom-made iron griddle and high-quality condiments added a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The menu was well-designed, with clear descriptions and stylish presentation. I opted for a la carte dining this time, but the course menu seemed like a good deal. Overall, my experience at Koboreya was enjoyable, and I appreciated the attention to detail in both the food and the restaurant's ambiance.

The okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and other grilled dishes were all delicious with generous portions. I've tried several monjayaki restaurants in Tsukishima before, but this one might be my favorite. It was just so tasty!!

It's certainly delicious, but... Kappo-style Monja? What is that? It's quite expensive at 5,500 yen for a course with all-you-can-drink for Monja. Monja is a dish for the common people. Why charge so much? While they use decent ingredients, it's filled with squid which gets boring. Monja itself should have a lot of ingredients, almost like okonomiyaki. The original charm of Monja seems to have disappeared. The staff's attitude was not the best, perhaps due to the crowded restaurant. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.
