Introducing Monjayaki – The Soul Food of Downtown Tokyo! This video, titled "How To Make 'MONAJAYAKI' With Spicy Caviar - Japanese Street Food," was uploaded by Ante. It introduces monjayaki, a soul food of Tokyo. Monjayaki is a local food in the suburbs of Tokyo where the delicious pancake-like food is cooked over a teppan. Monjayaki is similar to okonomiyaki, but it's characterized by the fact that it does not solidify on the griddle after being heated. Monjayaki was originally loved as a snack by children. However, over time, more and more ingredients were added, and it became a popular dish among adults as well. In this article we’ll introduce monjayaki! How to Make Monjayaki Photo:How to make monjayaki In this article, we'll show you how to make monjayaki by following the video of the traditional Tsukishima Monjayaki restaurant "Kondo," which has been in business for 70 years. Start by oiling a hot teppan, as shown at 0:06 in the video. Then, put finely chopped vegetables, the flour and water mixture, and your favorite ingredients, such as tenkasu, on the griddle. The most popular toppings for monjayaki are mentaiko (spicy cod roe), mochi (rice cakes), cheese, baby star ramen, boneless pork rib, kimchi, beef tendon, corn, squid, and sakura shrimp. Open the middle of the ingredients and make a ring of cabbage around it to form a bank. Place the mentaiko, the main ingredient, in the open space in the middle. Then, mix the mentaiko and dashi batter thoroughly, as shown at 0:55 in the video. When the mentaiko is cooked and begins to change color, toss it with the surrounding cabbage. Finally, use a spatula to finely chop the ingredients, as shown at 1:33 in the video. Finish with a cheese topping, and when it melts, it's ready! It takes less than three minutes to complete, so if you're looking for a quick, delicious snack, then monjayaki is the way to go! You can eat it with chopsticks, but when it comes to monjayaki, eating it with a small spatula and pairing it with beer or other alcoholic beverages is the most common way it's enjoyed among adults. Another popular way to eat it is to grill sausages and butter corn with soy sauce on the griddle together, as can be seen at 3:25 in the video. Monjayaki Across Japan Photo:Monjayaki from Tsukushima Kondo, Tokyo 1. Popular Monjayaki in Tokyo There are many long-standing monjayaki restaurants in downtown areas such as Sumida, Koto, Daito, Katsushika, Adachi, and Arakawa. The most famous tourist spots are Tsukishima (Kondo) in Chuo, Tokyo, and Asakusa in Taito, Tokyo. Nishinaka-dori in Tsukishima, Chuo, Tokyo is often called "Monjayaki Town" and "Monja Street" and is typically crowded with tourists. 2. Monjayaki in Gunma Besides the usual cabbage, monjayaki in Gunma is characterized by its small amount of ingredients and the fact that it's seldom cooked. It's even said by some that monjayaki originated in Gunma Prefecture, where udon flour, which was left over from the production of udon, a local specialty, was mixed with water and then grilled. In Isesaki, in the southern part of Gunma Prefecture, the origin of Isesaki's monjayaki is said to be when children mixed udon flour and water, added soy sauce, and grilled it on a teppan as a snack. 3. Ashikaga Monjayaki in Tochigi Monjayaki in Ashikaga, Tochigi, is similar to monjayaki that can be eaten at snack shops. It's made of flour and water only, with a very watery material, and is cooked thinly like a crepe. Leftovers are sometimes left to harden before being eaten as "senbei." Summary of Monjayaki, a Historical Japanese Snack Photo:Monjayaki There's an illustration of something called "Monjiyaki-ya" (文字焼き屋) in the Hokusai Manga published in 1819, and it's believed that monjayaki had already existed by the Edo Period (1603-1868 AD). There are many theories about the origins and roots of the historical dish, but the fact remains that Japanese people love monjayaki and various kinds of monjayaki have been created all over Japan. Using a hot plate makes it easy to enjoy monjayaki, so consider trying it at home! -

Have you heard of eelpouts before? There probably aren't many people who've heard of this strange fish, but it's actually a specialty of Kanazawa that's attracting attention as an ingredient for beauty supplements. This video will show you how to prepare some delicious eelpouts! The Unsightly Eelpout - A Look at the Strange Fish Photo:Eelpouts Eelpout is written "幻魚" (roughly "Illusion Fish") in Japanese Kanji. This deep-sea fish is a type of sea-bass (belonging to a genus of Zoarcidae) and there are more than 230 types of eelpouts around the world. The reason why it's called "illusion fish" in Japan is likely because of its wiggly, slimy and grotesque body, and it was never eaten or studied. It has been found that it prefers the cold water of the northern hemisphere and usually lies on the seafloor, eating shells, sea urchins, and starfish that are in the sand. It swims very slow and its proper name is "ノロゲンゲ" (norogenge) in Japanese. The best time to catch it in the Hokuriku region is from September to May. How to Prepare Eelpouts Source :YouTube screenshot The most distinctive feature of the eelpout is its long, thin body, slimy surface, and soft texture. This is because it's rich in fine gelatin and collagen. It has quit a plain taste, so it can be used in any kind of cooking, and it is very popular in Kanazawa and Toyama. As you can see from 0:41 in the video, they cost around 400 yen per four fish, which is cheap during the harvest seasons, so it's often eaten as a main dish in Japan's Hokuriku region. Fried, dried, and tempura are also popular ways to prepare it, and these can be seen from 1:17 in the video. The slimy surface disappears when deep-fried giving it a nice and soft texture. Because of its simple taste, it's used as the main ingredients in miso soup and hot pot on a regular basis. Summary of Eelpouts, a Kanagawa Specialty Photo:Miso soup with bamboo shoots Eelpouts are also called "gengyo," "dogi," "mizuuo," and "sugayo" in Japanese. Although grotesque at first glance, it's gaining attention as a main ingredient in beauty supplements due to its high moisture content and moisturizing properties. Eelpout hot pot and eelpout soup are foods that women should pay attention to if they're focusing on beauty because it warms the body from the core and makes the skin look youthful.

The Mouthwatering Coconut Crab of Yatai Mura on Kokusaidori This video, titled "Japanese Street Food - GIANT COCONUT CRAB Seafood Okinawa Japan," was uploaded by "Travel Thirsty." It introduces the coconut crab sold at food trucks in Okinawa. Coconut crabs are huge crustaceans that live in Okinawa Prefecture. They have a history of being eaten as a delicacy in parts of Okinawa since ancient times. At Yatai Mura, a popular destination on Kokusaidori in Naha, Okinawa, you can eat gigantic coconut crab dishes. Sometimes called "Okinawa's strange specialty," coconut crab is surprisingly delicious thanks to its plump texture and the delicious broth that can be made from it. How is Okinawa's Coconut Crab Prepared? Photo:Coconut crab cuisine Coconut crab dishes can be eaten at Okinawan food stalls for a few thousand yen. Coconut crab dishes are made in much the same way as normal crab dishes; however, the shells of coconut crab are hard, making them difficult to prepare sometimes. At food stalls, coconut crabs are usually steamed whole, then removed from the shell and eaten with seasonings, such as sauce or soup stock. This can be seen at 8:09 in the video. What Kind of Creatures are Okinawa's Coconut Crab? Photo:Coconut crab Coconut crabs look like crabs, but they're actually a type of hermit crab. In Japanese, they're called "yashi-gani" (椰子蟹 in kanji or the more common ヤシガニ in katakana). Coconut crabs inhabit Miyako Island, Ishigaki Island, and Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture, and the largest crabs can grow more than 40 cm in length and weigh more than 4 kg! The coconut crab is said to be the strongest crustacean, and the clamping force of its giant pincers is about 90 times its weight, which is about as strong as a lion's bite! Fisherman must be very careful when catching coconut crabs, as not to get injured. Points of Caution When Eating Coconut Crab at a Food Stall Photo:Coconut crab cuisine Because coconut crabs are omnivores and eat dead or rotten fish carcasses, they can accumulate pathogens in their bodies. Coconut crabs that have accumulated these pathogens can cause food poisoning if eaten, even after cooking them, so be careful. Coconut crab is a valuable food item that is rarely eaten nowadays, partly because it is listed as an endangered species. Summary of the Coconut Crab at Okinawa's Food Stalls Photo:Coconut crab cuisine The Okinawan culture of eating giant coconut crabs dates all the way back to ancient Japan. Seen at 4:40 in the video are some of the unique gourmet specialties at Okinawan food stalls, including dishes like chanpuru, rafute, mimigaa (pig's ear) and umibudo (sea grapes).
