Tsukishima Monja Street
Japanese
A whole street of monjayaki spots in the Tsukishima neighborhood, each one basically identical, and that's exactly the point. Monja is Tokyo's messier, more chaotic answer to okonomiyaki: you pick your fillings, cook the batter yourself on a built-in iron griddle, and work a tiny spatula until it crisps at the edges. The staff will rescue you if you're lost. Cold beer, warm iron, no pretense. Just locals and curious visitors making a happy mess.
