3.08 A cat quietly standing in a residential street. I had been curious about this place from its name, so I finally went there. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with drawings of regular customers on one wall, giving it a cozy atmosphere. Now, before eating the Monjayaki, let's start with some Teppanyaki... Squid, sausages, corn - all of them go well with beer. The Monjayaki is already seasoned, so all you have to do is cook it. Some restaurants cook it for you, but here it's self-service. The staff is handling everything alone, so they help adjust the heat for you. It was delicious and just right.

Acquaintance recommended this place as delicious, so I made a reservation and visited on a weekday night. They serve Monjayaki, a dish originating from Tokyo with various styles like Tsukishima and Asakusa, but here they have their own unique style in Kinshicho, which I was looking forward to trying! It's not a touristy area, but located in a residential neighborhood, so the prices were reasonable and the portions were generous, making it popular among families. For Monjayaki, there were options to choose from a pre-made mix or create your own original Monjayaki by selecting your favorite ingredients to add to a base of salt or normal flavor. We chose to customize our own by mixing salt and normal flavors with different fillings. While the staff could help with cooking the Monjayaki, we decided to do it ourselves and had a fun time chatting and enjoying the process. For dessert, we ordered anko crepe and asked to cook it separately, then enjoyed plenty of food and drinks, having a wonderful time together. I'm not sure why the restaurant is named "Neko" (cat in Japanese), but the interior walls were filled with various drawings by different people, which was entertaining to look at. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It is a cozy place that I would like to visit again. The taste of the Monja was already there. I thought it was a different taste from usual Monja, maybe they season it with something other than the sauce. The Big Wednesday Monja was surprisingly large and it made me feel overwhelmed.

There are table seats and sunken kotatsu seats, both spacious. We tried grilled dishes, monjayaki, and okonomiyaki, all of which were delicious. It's a bit far from the station, but it seems like a hidden gem! They also offer courses and all-you-can-drink options, making it a great choice for parties.

The graffiti on the walls is amazing.

Ordered the Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Monja and Negi Gyusuji Tempura. Mentaiko, mochi, and cheese make the ultimate combination. The dish takes up about 2/3 of the teppan and is very filling, perfect for enjoying with beer. The Negi Gyusuji Tempura has plenty of beef tendon pieces, and the sweetness of the leeks complements it perfectly. Adding mayonnaise makes it even more delicious. Great value for money! Will definitely come back.

I always eat without taking photos, but today I took a few. I ordered the "Fluffy and Creamy Yam Omelette," which I always get. It's made with yam, cut squid, pickled ginger, and egg, and they serve it with ponzu sauce. I also like it when they cook both sides instead of just one. I wish there was more pickled ginger, though. I also ordered the "Assorted Tempura" with octopus, shrimp, squid, and pork. The pork comes on a separate plate because it tends to fall off the main dish. I got the "Green Onion Tempura" this time, which had lots of green onions, perfect for me since I love them. I prefer to eat it with soy sauce. It's more fluffy than a typical okonomiyaki. The picture is really blurry... I also had the "Monjayaki" with added Baby Star noodles and cheese. It felt like eating at a candy store, with many families and kids around. It was lively and full that day.

Meow~ This is a shop near my friend's house. It has a very local feel! The wall is covered with graffiti to welcome you. There are tatami mats and tables inside. The thick and fluffy okonomiyaki is a must-have at a shop like this! It's not fancy, but when you eat it with friends, it tastes even better. My favorite is the rolled pizza (I think that was the name). It's a fun attraction where you can make pizza on a hot plate. The dough is chewy and the cheese is gooey. It was funny to see everyone's different creations. (Photo) By the way, I'm in the bottom right. It was so long! I want to know the recipe!

I have no problem entering an okonomiyaki and monjayaki restaurant alone, but imagining myself eating monjayaki makes me terribly sad. I wanted to try the modern style of monjayaki, so I visited this place with a female colleague from the local area and her fifth-grade daughter. We arrived at 6:00 PM on a Saturday, and about two-thirds of the seats were already filled, including reserved seats. The left side had table seating, while the right side had sunken kotatsu-style seating. Next to us in the sunken seating were three high school boys in their club uniforms. At the table behind us, a group of men and women who had just finished work were having a great time. My colleague, who had been here before, took care of the order, and I started with a refreshing glass of beer. In the end, we ordered three monjayakis. My colleague handled the cooking. The basic monjayaki cost 470 yen plus tax, with toppings like cabbage, fried tempura bits, cut squid, dried shrimp, and pickled ginger, with additional toppings like mentaiko for 100 yen plus tax and mochi for 150 yen plus tax. The hot iron plate was used to create a ring of ingredients, then Worcestershire sauce was poured into the center. Once it started bubbling, we turned down the heat and used spoons to scoop and eat it. Delicious! The perfect spiciness of the mentaiko and the tanginess of the pickled ginger were great. The five-ingredient monjayaki with octopus, shrimp, squid, and pork cost 850 yen plus tax. The appearance on the iron plate was similar to the basic monjayaki, but the texture and taste of the seafood ingredients were truly enticing. The diced cabbage played a supporting role and enhanced the overall flavor. The pizza monjayaki with wiener sausage, cheese, corn, and additional toppings like mochi for 150 yen plus tax cost 800 yen plus tax. The addition of tomato broth gave it a red hue, and once topped with cheese, it became a pizza monjayaki. It wasn't like a pizza, but a unique monjayaki with pizza flavors. Delicious! Monjayaki is best enjoyed with friends who you get along with, rather than eating alone. I used to think monjayaki was bland, but it turned out to be different. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I felt like eating okonomiyaki and monjayaki so badly! So, I went to this restaurant with my mom. When we arrived around 8 pm, the place was almost full with families and groups of colleagues. Luckily, we found a table in the tatami area. We ordered squid with butter, a mushroom platter, curry cheese monjayaki, and seafood tempura. The mushroom platter was filled with various kinds of mushrooms and was delicious. The okonomiyaki was fluffy and the monjayaki had plenty of cheese which we loved. We also had sweet red bean paste rolls for dessert. We saw a group of about 8 colleagues nearby enjoying a large bowl of monjayaki cooked on a hot plate. It looked fun! The menu also had pancakes, so it seems like a great place for a group gathering. The staff were friendly and the warm atmosphere made it a cozy neighborhood restaurant. We'll definitely visit again!

I wanted to eat okonomiyaki and visited a restaurant called Neko in Kinshicho that I found on Tabelog. It's about a 15-minute walk from Kinshicho Station. The restaurant had table seating and tatami seating. Since it's located in a residential area, it seemed like there were many regular customers. The menu allows you to choose between okonomiyaki or monjayaki as a base, and then add your favorite toppings. They also have special menu items, negiyaki, and teppanyaki. The cold tomato was very large. The okonomiyaki with pork and green onions had just the right amount of filling and wasn't too floury, which I liked. It was delicious. The monjayaki with mochi, cheese, and mentaiko had a generous portion. The prices were quite reasonable, so I recommend it.

The walls are covered with graffiti, giving the impression that this place is loved by regular customers. It's a typical local okonomiyaki and monjayaki restaurant, located away from the station, with a lively atmosphere of families, couples, and high school students. The prices are reasonable for okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and other dishes. The assorted mushroom platter is a must-order, with large shiitake mushrooms, enoki, shimeji, and bean sprouts. The butter-grilled chicken liver is also delicious, but be careful not to drop it into the hole on the hot plate! I always end up ordering the mentaiko mochi cheese monjayaki, which is consistently tasty. I usually pair it with a sugar-free plum sour to balance out the fried food, although it might not make much of a difference!

I found a shop while exploring the town. [Good points] - I apologize for not having a photo, but the menu is generally inexpensive - Even for two people, we were able to use a large tatami room - The teppanyaki appetizers are delicious [Bad points] - The shop is hard to find [Good and bad points] - Since there are many local people, it's okay to come to the shop with small children, but sometimes the atmosphere inside the shop becomes like a playroom. (In other words, is it like a playroom?) [Additional information] - There is a shop called LocoBAR in Kinshicho, and it seems that the shop is run by someone who knows the staff there. The staff were wearing T-shirts with the LocoBAR logo. (Sorry if I'm mistaken.)

This restaurant became the venue for a local gathering. It is about a 10-minute walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit, and I remember passing by it several times. Every time I passed by, it was crowded with many people. Inside the restaurant, the walls are covered with graffiti filled with the customers' affection. On this day, we had a private party and enjoyed dishes like Menma, Kimchi, Potato Salad, as well as dishes like shrimp, chicken, and mushroom butter yaki. The main dish, monjayaki, was served in a generous portion, filling the teppan with four servings. By the time we finished the last okonomiyaki, we were full. Thank you for the feast.
