Monjayaki

もんじゃ焼き もんじゃやき

The low city's own griddle dish — a runny batter with cabbage, seafood and whatever else, cooked on the hotplate at your table and eaten straight off it with a small metal spatula. Tsukishima, one station from Ginza, has a whole street of monja restaurants. It is messy, cheap, communal and the most Tokyo of foods that visitors never hear about.

How to order
Let the staff cook the first one; order "mentaiko mochi cheese" for the crowd-pleaser.
