Revisiting Tsukishima after five long years has been like flipping through the pages of a cherished photo album, where each memory is a savory delight. The process of cooking Monjayaki is almost ceremonial: you start by artistically arranging a circle of crisp cabbage and your choice of toppings on the hot griddle, a mosaic of colors and textures awaiting transformation. The 'Monja' mixture, a medley of flour, water, and dashi, is then ceremoniously poured into the heart of the cabbage ring. The trick to achieving that perfectly gooey consistency lies in the patience of letting it simmer and blend with the medley of ingredients, stirring with tender care until it reaches the desired thickness. For a nostalgic culinary journey, the ‘Ebi' (shrimp) Monjayaki is a must-try, with its succulent seafood melding into the savory batter, while the 'Cheese' Monjayaki offers a gooey, stretchy experience that pulls at both the heartstrings and chopsticks. And as for Okonomiyaki, the classic 'Buta' (pork) is a timeless choice, with layers of tender meat and batter topped with a dance of bonito flakes, a performance of flavors and textures that's as much a feast for the eyes as for the palate. Eating at Tsukishima is not just a meal; it's a hands-on dive into the culinary arts, a place where every sizzle on the griddle marks the rhythm of a city that's alive with flavor and history. So here's a tip for the perfect Monjayaki: let the ingredients tell their story on the griddle, guiding them gently, and they will reward you with a taste of Tokyo's soul.

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.

This street has mostly Japanese Fried Pancake Restaurants. The one that our local friends picked is great and cozy having about 10 cooking tables which they give you the ingredients that you ordered and you cook your own pancakes. It is a fun and yummy experience. During the cooking time, we can take the time to chat with friends and when the food is done, each of us using the small metal tool to cut a piece and put it on the plate and eat it. Very fresh ingredients and yummy sauces. Great for friends gathering and to catch up. Highly recommended.

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.
