Monja!

Discover Tokyo's own version of Osaka's famous savory pancake, okonomiyaki, along the Nishinaka dori in the historic Shitamachi neighborhood of Tsukushima. Watch a video of this delicious dish being prepared and visit Sakamoto Monja to try it for yourself!

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).
