Tsukishima back streets

月島

StreetLocal favourite

An island reclaimed from Tokyo Bay in 1892, where the back lanes behind the main street are still packed with old wooden houses and narrow alleys. The main street holds more than 80 monjayaki shops; wander the alleys first, then cook monja yourself on the table griddle.

Good to know

  • To cook monja: fry the fillings, make a ring, pour the batter in the middle, then mix and press flat; eat it off the griddle with the small spatula (GO TOKYO).
  • Many shops also serve okonomiyaki.
