Tsukishima home of Monjyayaki

November 20, 2006 on 6:20 pm | In Food, Tokyo | | Email This Post

Looking for cheap fun in Tokyo I went to Tsukishima with some friends.

Tsukishima (月島) is known for Monjyayaki (もんじゃ焼き), a Tokyo specialty food which loosely resembles an okonomiyaki attempt which became buddah.

Once you get to Tsukishima station you go to Tsukishima nishinaka doori syoutengai, and you’ll notice a Monjyayaki shop…

And another, and another, and another. In fact most all of the shops on this street are selling Monjyayaki. We did not do any research in advance regarding which shop was the most famous or whatnot, but most of the shops had long lines outside anyway, so I’m sure they’re all good!

This is what the Monjyayaki food actually looks like.

What happened to it? How did anything considered food, Japanese food at that, get to look so sloppy? It’s something like a fried soup vegetable monstrosity…

Tastes great though. Especially when it burns.

I’ll explain how to make Monjyayaki in a future post!
