After shopping, let's have Monja for lunch near Kappabashi Dougu Street.
Monja is similar to okonomiyaki, which is made with flour and water.
However, monja uses more water than okonomiyaki, so it is made differently and tastes different. How to make monja is very unique. When eating monja you use a small metal spatula to cook the monja as you eat it. It will be an interesting experience for you.
