Happy time in “izakaya” !
Many kinds of izakaya are open near my house, because huge universities are around here. Students enjoy drink with friends or someone steady (-_^)*
To tell the truth, I don’t touch alcohol beverages (T_T) but I love izakaya!
Delicious foods and non-alcohol drinks in there.
Follow to the custom, a staff gave us hot wet towels in big smile, then an otoshi were served. Next what we did is you know… “Kanpai! (cheers!)”

What Japanese food “Monjayaki” ?
“monojyayaki”
Do you know “monjayaki”? It’s similar to “okonomiyaki”, but “monjayaki” is known as a snack food of Kanto area including Tokyo, while “okonomiyaki” is its counter-food in West Japan such as Hiroshima or Osaka.
This is “okonomiyaki”.
“okonomiyaki” by laughlin
“monjayaki” is made like this: Firstly mix the ingredients like cabbages and sea food with water and flour, then place the mixture on a heated plate. As you turn and mind the mixtures with scraper tool, the liquids is evaporated. Once the mixture is partially sort of burnt it is ready. Now you’d take the individual smaller scraper and help yourself a small portion by scraping the cooked (burnt) mixture directly from the plate.
The way of cooking and eating “monjayaki”
I know eating burnt bits is rather wired and shocking way of eating, but it is tasty.

There is a “monjayaki” restaurant that had celebrities including Brad Pitt visited in Tukishima, a downtown area of Tokyo. I reckon trying ”monjayaki” is becoming a part of Tokyo tourism for foreigners?
