Monjayaki in Tsukishima

Good day,

I'm traveling alone in Tokyo this summer and want to try this food.

1. Are there monjayaki servings for only one person?

2. I don't know the way to cook it by myself. Will the restaurants staff assist for those who don't know?

3. What is the best drink to go along with monjayaki?

Thanks a lot!

Rom DP,

1. Monjayaki is a piece of junky pancake in which you are free to share with your friends or eat all by yourself. And yes, I believe most restaurants accept single customers and I suppose an average adult can eat a whole monjayaki all by him/herself.

2. The restaurant staff can usually assist you upon request. When entering the restaurant, tell them that you don't know how to cook monja and that you can't read Japanese (if you can't). The places that welcome you will be helpful, and the places that aren't helpful will say no to you at that point.

3. Any drink is fine. I just grab a beer.

Monjayaki is the only Japanes food I dislike. It's so gross--it looks like puke and tastes worth. If you're not sure what you're taliking about, skip it. There are tons of other great foods to try in Japan.
