Tsukishima Monja Street

Unclaimed

It’s a unique and cool sight to see so many restaurants in close proximity, all competing with the exact same food. No guarantee you can get into any single one, but walk around and you’re sure to find a shop without too much of a wait where you can get some authentic monjayaki.

Now, if you are stating in Ginza and have a craving for Monja - head here on the bus! Charming street filled with about 80 places to eat - the smells will lead you to the one that is right for you! Yes, you have to make your own dinner - but that's the fun of it, right? Careful - some shops have smoking permitted.

We made a stop here to try monjayaki for the first time before heading to kidzania. Chose to dine at Daruma Monjayaki shop just opposite the Monja street information center. You can always get a guide map from the information center as they have a list of all the shops along the street or make a reservation online before hand. We were short on time so we chose whichever was closest but it was nothing short on experience. The staff spoke good English and were very helpful with ordering. They’ll cook for you on the spot so you can just sit back and relax. Was surprised at the side of it and wondered how can my daughter and me finish it but we managed to finished every bit of it! Will be back again on our next trip to explore more!

❇️ Tsuki-shima Island. ?Very interesting. ************************************** ● We saw school kids about 7 to 8 years old coming home to Tsukishima island alone - unaccompanied by parents. They are so highly independent. ✅️Amazing. ●Tsuki-shima island. This is an island-residential neighbourhood located near Tsukiji market. ➡️ It is prime estate, and home to many young couples and young families. ● It has a homely neighbourhood feel like my Toa Payoh Central ( the town I live in Singapore). ❇️ It is very relaxing here, and people are friendly. ● We saw many school children coming home to this neighbourhood.

Japan has a lot of strange and interesting places along with interesting eats. This is one of the interesting eats and interesting places. There are approximately 80 restaurants along the street and they serve a sort of pancake type dish that's fried on the table in front of you or you fry it on the table in front of you. The first time I suggest you ask the restaurant staff to help you out but after that, once you know how to do it and what it's all about then have fun. A friend of mine told me to make sure I hit this street and try the dish/experience. Indeed, it was interesting. Personally, I would suggest you skip the Monja dish.....go to the slightly thicker dish that is very similar. The dishes are usually something like shredded cabbage with a protein and a batter that is fried on a cook surface on the table top. It's still an experience one way or the other and I'm not sure how to rate this. It is not Gourmet dining but as an experience, high four star seems appropriate but definitely try one of the restaurants on the street
