Monja!

Here's Tokyo's answer to Osaka's famed savory pancake, okonomiyaki. Squid, shrimp, cabbage, katsuobushi, onions, pork, sakura ebi and God knows what else, all chopped up and sizzling on a teppan griddle. Along the Nishinaka dori (street) in the fantastic, old Shitamachi neighborhood of Tsukushima, some 50 joints specialize in this dish, which I hear is sometimes made with curry and cheese, too. Check out this video and try it at Sakamoto Monja (03-3531-1307).
