I oftern recommend tourists to visit Tsukishima to challenge an unique cuisine called Monja. The word “monja-yaki (monja-grill)” came from “moji-yaki”(or word-grill), which eaten by children who played to draw words on iron plate since 19th Century. It became a kind of snack for children in kids’ small candy store after WWII. It used to be a simple with no igredients but thin flour, but became an unique cuisine, particulary in Tsukiji, or Asakusa in Tokyo.
