@Shinsaibashi: ★★★☆☆ Tabelog 3.15 [Rare Monjayaki restaurant in Kansai] Sometimes I crave Monjayaki, which is not common in Kansai, so I was grateful to find this place. The taste and service were good, but the Monjayaki was a bit pricey, ranging from around 1000 to 1400 yen. #KansaiGourmet #OsakaGourmet #ShinsaibashiStation #ShinsaibashiDinner #Monjayaki #Unprocessed #Japan #Happy #Food

I visited "Monja Mugi" located on Nagahori Bridge. It's a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Monja-yaki from Tsukishima. - Atmosphere: A teppanyaki restaurant with a focus on the counter - Food: Various types of Monja, as well as side dishes available - Price: Reasonable prices Hello, I'm Miyann, a Russian living in Kansai. The restaurant is about a 5-minute walk from Nagahori Bridge Station. [Rich in ingredients and a wide variety of menu] Monja-yaki was originally a snack for children, with ingredients typically limited to cabbage and dried shrimp. However, this restaurant is known for its generous amount of ingredients. This upgraded version of a children's snack makes for a great appetizer for adults. It's delicious! [Different from Okonomiyaki, the fun of cooking] The charm of Monja lies in pushing back the overflowing ingredients with a spatula towards the center, pressing the spatula against the teppan until it's ready to eat. Enjoying it while sizzling and paired with beer shows how well they complement each other. [Summary] Today, I spent 3000 yen for the following menu: - Beer: 6 glasses - Natsumi Marispecial: 1480 yen - Mugi-yaki: 870 yen - Ume Suisho: 400 yen I tried it out of curiosity, and it was a perfect accompaniment to alcohol. I would like to visit again. Goodbye!

I ordered mentaiko mochi cheese monja and Natsumaki Mari Special monja. The sight of the staff mixing the monja at high speed is impressive.

The Monjayaki was delicious, but I was bothered by the fact that the staff kept talking and not doing their job. It was disappointing even though the food was good.

Mentaiko mochi cheese monja is recommended☆ Topping with abura-kasu is also delicious! The restaurant is small, so it's better to make a reservation in advance.

It was too delicious.

I tried two different types of monjayaki, and they were even more delicious than the famous restaurant in Tsukishima. The yakisoba had thick and chewy noodles which I really liked. It was a bit oily, but I didn't mind. All the other dishes were also great. I will definitely go back again.

"According to what my friend said, it was great."

It was a Saturday when I returned from playing golf. I took a break at home and then late at night, I went to a bar in Higashi-Shinsaibashi with my bar friends to eat monjayaki for some reason. The restaurant was called "Mugi-san" which had a small L-shaped counter and three tables. We sat at the large table in the middle that could fit four people. We started with beers and made a toast. As for the menu, we first ordered the recommended dish, monjayaki. The older brother quickly put the ingredients on the hot plate and skillfully cooked the monjayaki. It was amazing to watch. We also ordered yakisoba, which was cooked promptly by the older brother as well. However, more customers started coming in around this time. The place was almost full. The monjayaki was ready and it was fluffy yet had a soft egg part which was just to my liking. It didn't have much sauce but it was quite delicious. The yakisoba was thick and had corn as an accent. For some reason, I ended up ordering a Japanese sake called "Karatamba" at this point. We also received Awaji new onions as a side dish. It was onion slices with sauce grilled in aluminum foil. It was a great dish. I never expected to find such a restaurant in the drinking area I often visit. Thank you for the meal.

Hello, this is Kodadadada. This time, I found a restaurant while wandering from Namba to Shinsaibashi with my colleague after work! We were at a crossroads where there didn't seem to be many options beyond Sukiyaki, so it was a relief to find this place. I'm originally from Tokyo and I love Monjayaki, but I usually make it at home, so it's been a while since I had it at a restaurant, maybe since elementary school. I heard that people in Osaka prefer Okonomiyaki over Monjayaki, but my colleague is from Hokkaido, so we went in without worrying too much. When we entered the restaurant, there was a slightly cramped seating area in front of a large iron plate, and the food is served directly on the plate without plates. They have a wide variety of fruit liqueurs, which might be nice for women! I'm not really into beer or shochu, so I was happy about that. So, I ordered a La France sour for myself. It was not too sweet and very delicious! As for the food, I ordered something called "Mugi Special". Honestly, I was wondering what "Mugi" was, but it turned out to be the name of the restaurant. My bad. The Monjayaki costs over 1000 yen per serving, so it's not cheap, but the staff will cook it for you from start to finish! I had forgotten about the additional order of Buta Hirayaki, but they prepared it for me later and apologized. It seemed like there were a lot of regular customers, and the owner was friendly. I think I'll come back again, thank you for the meal!

I came here seeking for my new favorite dish, Monjayaki. There is another restaurant nearby as well. The interior of this place is cozy, with a small counter at the back and tables in the front. The staff are all young and full of energy. I enjoy chatting with them while waiting for my food. We ordered the Barley Special for 1370 yen, which had 10 different toppings and was delicious. We also tried the Chicken Cartilage and Soft Scrambled Egg Monjayaki for 1320 yen, which was a popular menu item. The Potato Salad with Crab Miso for 480 yen was also tasty and went well with sake. The Yakisoba was average, but the Monja batter was gooey and satisfying. Overall, it's a casual place where I could see myself coming back to if it's near my workplace or home. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since my last visit. The place is still popular as ever! The main store was full, so I visited this branch instead. It was also fully booked - that was close! What should I try today? I wonder what Mapo Tofu Monja tastes like? I ordered that and also Tonpei Cheese, Shiitake, Taco Butter, and Yakisoba. They cook it for you, so it's fun to watch. Monja is cooked in a unique way that I'm not used to seeing as a Kansai person. Now, let's dig in. The tofu is chopped up, so it would be better if it kept its original shape, but the taste is definitely Chinese-style, fresh and delicious. It's a different kind of Monja than usual. Yummy! The Tonpei Cheese is wrapped in a thin crepe-like skin and it's unique and delicious. It's loaded with cheese - so tasty! They also sprinkle Tabasco on top. The staff is very friendly, which adds to the pleasant experience. The counter at the Nagahori store is a bit narrow when passing by to the restroom, but I'm looking forward to the newly opened Fukushima store.

Visited a monja-yaki restaurant called "Monja Mugi Nagahoribashi" near Nagahoribashi Station in Osaka with a friend. We were patrolling Minami as usual, visiting about four places, when my friend suddenly said, "I'm hungry! I want to eat something." Seriously?! I was already drunk, so I was really tipsy! Then, we found this restaurant. The interior had counter seats and small tables. The waiter was a good-looking guy, and he provided great service that would surely please female customers. Even though it was 30 minutes before closing time, they let us in. After us, more customers came in, and they had to turn some away due to lack of seats. I looked at the menu for monja-yaki. They even had a special monja called "Natsuki Mari Special"! It's a special monja dish created by Natsuki Mari, born out of favoritism for the Tsukishima main store. I also noticed a Sichuan-style monja on the menu, but my friend stopped me from ordering it (laughs). So, we ordered the "Mugi Special" instead. The waiter made a mound of dough on the hot plate, poured the batter in, flattened it out nicely, and then flipped it over with a spatula. The ingredients included cabbage, shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, pork, carrots, corn, chikuwa, and more. There were a total of 10 different ingredients. The cabbage was cut into large pieces. I remember being warned at another restaurant before not to let the monja stick to the hot plate because it would burn, but here they said, "You can cook it to your liking, so enjoy it however you prefer." If the monja gets burnt, the waiter will scrape it off with a big spatula, flip the dough, and mix it in for you. The flavor was quite strong, with a pronounced bonito taste. It would probably go really well with beer, but I had drunk too much at the previous place and couldn't even finish my highball (laughs). My friend was so hungry that he even ordered the "Iron Plate Hormone". They wrapped the cooked dish in silver foil and placed it on the hot plate to keep it hot. It stayed hot the whole time. I took a bite, and it really worked out my jaw muscles! If you like monja, you'll be delighted with this place. Now that our bellies are full, it's time to head home. Thanks for the meal!

A friend was eating Monjayaki in Tsukishima, probably at the same restaurant... It was delicious, so I wanted to go there. The main restaurant was full, so we were directed to this one, which was a 3-minute walk away. There was a counter and one table. My friend recommended mentaiko mochi and cheese. I didn't know that Monjayaki is not supposed to be eaten with sauce... We also ordered the basic Monjayaki with toppings of squid, natto, and two eggs that we chose ourselves. Since we had the mentaiko first, it felt a bit lacking in flavor for me. My friend said it was delicious though. I was craving the taste of Monjayaki with sauce, so I felt a bit disappointed... I was expecting the sauce flavor in the Monjayaki...

I found it. Monja in Tsukishima!! And it's near my house!! There are hardly any monja-yaki restaurants open late at night, so I had given up, but I found it. And it's Tsukishima Monja! I'm from Tokyo, so I feel nostalgic and happy. The menu is quite extensive too! The drinks are reasonably priced, which is nice. In my opinion, yakitori and yakiniku restaurants have cheap drinks, while sushi and okonomiyaki restaurants have expensive drinks. So I categorize sushi restaurants and okonomiyaki restaurants with cheap drinks as excellent stores. The interior has a counter and one table. Thankfully, we were seated at a table. There seems to be another branch nearby, and it has several tables and is more spacious. The chicken cartilage and yolk monja, chicken thigh with yuzu pepper monja, all chicken... so delicious!!! Not just because I like monja, but because they seem to pay attention to the taste of the broth and the combination of ingredients. Not too strong, not too weak. I could eat it forever. And it goes well with alcohol... It's the best. I got too excited and forgot to take photos of anything else. I'm sorry. But the appetizers are also incredibly delicious!!! It's not just an afterthought, they were cooked with care. I'll definitely go back. Or rather, I'll probably end up going quite often. Thank you for the meal.

After swimming in the pool, we went for dinner at a restaurant around 9 pm. The restaurant had about 8 counter seats and 1 table for 4-5 people. There was a couple at the counter enjoying wine and a group of 5 people at the table having a lively time. The menu had some unique options, and we were torn between choices. When it comes to monjayaki, the classic choice is definitely mentaiko mochi cheese! It's the number one popular dish at the restaurant. However, we wanted to try something different this time. Here is what we ordered: ☆Food - Potato Salad: It arrived quickly, but wait, where's the crab miso? The server apologized and explained that they were out of crab miso, so they used crab meat instead. It would have been nice to know that when we ordered. The potato salad only had potatoes and eggs, quite simple. - Natsuki Maris Special: A monjayaki dish created by Natsuki Maris, who is a regular at the Tsukishima main store. It contained natto, kimchi, cheese, mentaiko, and okra. It had a slimy texture with hints of kimchi and a light mentaiko flavor. A taste I've never experienced before, but it was delicious. If you like slimy textures, you'll enjoy this dish. - Sunazuri Butter: It was light, but lacked a punch. - Tonpei Yaki: We added cheese and mentaiko toppings. The melted cheese was delicious, but the sauce was too tangy, overpowering the cheese. A bit disappointing. - Chicken Cartilage Monja with Moon-viewing: The cabbage was roughly chopped, and there were large pieces of chicken cartilage. Some were so hard that it felt like my teeth might break. When you break the egg, it becomes gooey and similar to okonomiyaki, topped with bonito flakes. - Barley Grilled Flour Monja: Intrigued by the sign that said "New Genre," we ordered this dish. It had a chewy top layer, crunchy spring onions or vermicelli in the middle, and a crispy bottom layer. The combination was amazing, especially with the ponzu sauce drizzled on top. It was refreshing, slightly spicy, and very tasty. ☆Drinks - Two beers - One chu-hai Next time, I want to try the classic mentaiko mochi cheese. It was a delicious meal! Thank you for the feast!

The other day, after work, I was invited by my boss to eat monjayaki. I was wondering if there were any monjayaki restaurants around here, and sure enough, we went to the place my boss recommended! It was a small cozy restaurant, and they had monjayaki on the menu! I ordered my usual lemon chu-hai and the monjayaki from Tsukishima, Tokyo. We also had straw potato salad, grilled butter oysters, grilled butter clams, boneless chicken monjayaki, and avocado sashimi. Everything was delicious, and it went well with the drinks. We stayed there from around 3 in the morning until closing time! I'm thinking of coming back for a date next time. I highly recommend it to everyone!
