Discover the Savory Delight of “Monjayaki”- Japan’s Irresistible Street Food!
“Asakusa Monja” originated from a time after the war when food was scarce, and children would receive a small allowance from their parents and rush to a small candy store run by their grandmother. There, they would enjoy a thin, crispy snack made from stretched wheat flour cooked on a teppan grill at the back of the store. Asakusa Monja continues to cherish the taste of the original monjayaki from the candy store era, focusing primarily on the flavors of the flour and sauce. It aims to create a nostalgic experience for those who remember running to the candy store with an empty stomach, while also introducing the simple and warm flavors of the local community to younger generations who may not have experienced the post-war era. Asakusa Monja strives to be a place where people can learn about the history of Japanese food culture and the charm of the downtown area.

In today’s world, where there is a wide variety of Monjayaki and Okonomiyaki restaurants, this establishment stands out by focusing on the original flavors of the ingredients and providing them in a traditional handmade style. Another unique feature is that customers have the opportunity to cook their own dishes on the hot iron plate right in front of them, which adds an entertaining element and tests their cooking skills. While simple Monjayaki and Okonomiyaki are delicious, this establishment also offer unique combinations with various additions, so I highly recommend trying them out.
