A visit to a restaurant that refused to be interviewed
Monja = Tsukishima, but the nearest station is Yoyogi-koen Station, a couple of minutes' walk away. As the name implies, the store sells prepared foods in the storefront, but this time I took the path leading to the back of the store to the eat-in space with three tables.
It seems to be a sister restaurant of a Portuguese restaurant near the restaurant, and the monja is clearly different from what I have seen before, like a creative teppanyaki restaurant. Many of the dishes are spicy with seafood, cumin, and herbs, and go great with sake.
The monja I had on this day were

Everything is cooked by the waiter, who makes the rice crackers on half of the griddle and cooks the main course on the other half. There are regular and daily menus, but they stop offering those menus when they become popular, so it is just for reference w
They have a tricky menu, but they are very responsive to questions such as "I want it risotto style with rice," so you can ask a lot of questions when you order.
We had the canned Neapolitan that was introduced in the program, and the bill was about 5,000 yen per person.
The waitress told us that in February, they will not be serving monja, but only nabe dishes, so make sure you don't miss it!
