Monjayaki was created as a snack for children during the Edo period, and today, the Tsukishima area of Tokyo is famous as a mecca for it. There are many monjayaki specialty shops, so you can enjoy eating your way around.
Monjayaki is made by mixing ingredients such as cabbage, seafood, meat, and cheese into a thin batter and cooking it on a hot plate. The batter contains a lot of water, which gives it a unique stickiness when cooked. The restaurant prepares the ingredients and batter, and you cook it on the hot plate yourself. We usually eat with a small spatula.
