Reserved for dinner with a large group of friends.
Got the tuna monjya, the classic monjya, the duck monjya, and an okonomiyaki with drinks all for around 2,500 yen a person.
The food was excellent, and the service was wonderful too. The staff will help cook the monjya if you request it and they do an excellent job preparing it. They even scrape off the grill and the end and leave you some of the crispy bits so you get every last bit of the monjya.
Couldn't be more satisfied with everything.
I will note that the menu is entirely in Japanese though, so bring someone along who can read/speak Japanese to make sure you know what you're getting.

I visited with my work colleagues for a year-end party!
I'm thankful that the chair can be used as a luggage compartment to prevent my luggage and coat from getting smoky âºïž
First, I tried the traditional monja, and also had the oyster monja and tuna monja that I had always been interested inâš
The staff carefully cooked each piece of monja, and everything was delicious!
I thought I had ordered too much because there were so many things I wanted to try, but it was so delicious that I ate it all.
It's popular, so advance reservations are recommended ð¡
My personal big hit was the tuna monjaâš
I would like to relax again with a small group of people âºïž

This hideaway shop is located in a small alley on Tsukishima Monja Street, and is a 2-minute walk from the Tsukishima Sanchome bus stop.
The inside of the store was very clean, and I think there were 6 counter seats and 4 tables that seated 4 people.
The monja in the photo are called ``Koboreya'' and ``Jikkuro,'' and it was fun to watch as the staff grilled them right in front of me, and it was great to eat them. There are so many other things besides monja that I can't eat all of them. I have no choice but to go there several times.
I recommend it.
