4. Kanoya (浅草 もんじゃ かのや)
This restaurant is located on the ever-bustling Hoppy Street, a popular drinking area for young locals. Kanoya is monja yaki restaurant. Cooked on a large griddle in the middle of your table, monjya comes in all kinds of flavors. The large ingredients are chopped up on the cooking surface and then arranged in a ring into which the rest of the batter is poured. When the batter is cooked enough it won’t run all over the griddle, the ingredients are mixed together and the batter is cooked until it’s bubbly. The monjya is then scraped off and eaten with a tiny version of the cooking spatulas.
