About Tsukishima Monjayaki (savory batter cooked on a hot griddle)

One account says monjayaki got its name from “mojiyaki” (“grilled letters”), because people used the batter to write characters on the griddle. It is made by mixing wheat flour with water, then pouring the batter onto a hot griddle to cook. Compared with okonomiyaki, monjayaki uses less flour and has ingredients such as sauce mixed in from the start, so it does not set firm on the griddle. It is eaten with a small spatula. Tsukishima’s “Monja Street” offers a wide variety of monjayaki.
