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.
