Tsukishima Monja Street Tsukishima Monja Street locates a walking distance from prominent sightseeing areas like Tsukiji and Toyosu. The area of Tsukishima has a nostalgic, downtown Tokyo atmosphere. Since the 1980s, the area has been known as a famous street for having countless monja restaurants. “Monja” is a Tokyo-born dish. A mixture of batter, vegetables, meat or fish, and even ingredients like cheese or crackers, are mixed up and flattened out on a grill. When the mixture is heated up to a more solid consistency and is cooked up to a nice caramel color, it is ready to eat. It is eaten right off of the grill with a small spatula. On Tsukishima Monja Street, you can find traditional monja shops like “Iroha”, which opened in 1955. They have many types of monja with a variety of unique ingredients.

Monja Mugi - main store In the Tsukishima Area of Tokyo’s Chuo Ward, the monja-yaki restaurant “Monja Mugi” opens its doors to the Tsukishima Monja Street. This is the main store of the popular monja-yaki restaurant, which also has a Nishinaka and Kiyosumi-dori branch. Monja Mugi is dedicated to fresh ingredients, and only seafood bought directly from Tsukiji market is used in their dishes. Unlike many establishments which use fine-cut cabbage, they cut their cabbage quite large. This is to allow the final monja-yaki to retain and deliver the vegetable’s full texture. Their flagship dish is the “Mugi Special”. Alongside the classic monja-yaki ingredients, this one is packed with a huge variety of meat, seafood and mushrooms (squid, prawns, tuna, corn, fish cake, green onion, shimeji mushrooms, pork, shredded squid, sakura shrimp) that are all perfect matches with monja-yaki. The result is a hefty monja-yaki, boasting a size 1.5 times the standard. With its abundance of ingredients, this monja-yaki gives a different taste and experience with every separate bite. It’s a great dish to share with big groups of family and friends. *As of now, November 2019, Tsukishima Monja Street is under redevelopment. The photograph and address are of the temporary location, in which Monja Mugi continues to be in operation.
