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!

Okonomiyaki was created in Tokyo sometime between 1926 and 1941. The recipe is very simple- You simply mix all the ingredients and cook it on a teppan (iron grill/skillet) or in a pan. Later on, the custom spread from Tokyo to the Kansai region. There are two kinds of Okonomiyaki: Kansai style (Osaka area) and Kanto style (Tokyo area). What you see in the video is called Kansai style Okonomiyaki. Kansai style Okonomiyaki is made by mixing minced cabbage and batter together and cooking it on an iron pan. However, some people make it differently by flattening the batter on the iron pan and putting the cabbage on top. Modanyaki is a different type of Okonomiyaki that involves putting noodles into the mix. Modanyaki is also very popular in Japan. The recipe is pretty simple. Use flour and water to make a batter, and mix it with minced cabbage and Yamaimo (Japanese yam). From there, cook the ingredients on the iron plate after greasing it with cooking oil, adding sliced pork, noodles, green onions, eggs, and other delicious ingredients. You can simply put whatever ingredients you like in Okonomiyaki. Some other popular ingredients are seafood, cheese, and mochi (rice cakes). Once you've finished making the okonomiyaki, season it with okonomiyaki sauce, fish flakes, and dried green seaweed. Many people prefer mayonnaise on their Okonomiyaki. The most common way to eat Okonomiyaki is to cut it in small pieces using the spatula, so that it can be shared amongst friends.

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.

In the year 2000, they were selected as one of the "Top 100 Local Specialties in Saitama to Pass on to the 21st Century." The video introduces the long-established Soka Senbei rice cracker shop which is very particular about hand-grilling their product, the "Komiya Senbei," and shows it being grilled from start to finish. The rhythmic beat as they flip over and add flavor to the rice crackers makes quite a catchy ASMR tune. Soka Senbei - A Popular Snack in Japan Photo：Soka Senbei from Soka, Saitama Soka Senbei are characterized by being made from 100% glutinous rice. It is said that Soka Senbei originated in the Edo period (1603-1868) when soy sauce was added to "Shio Katamochi" (a type of hardened, salted rice cake), which was then grilled and turned into salt flavored rice crackers. This was eaten as a non-perishable food. Soka Senbei, which have a hard and crisp texture and do not contain additives such as coloring agents, are loved by many people, from both children to adults. This is why many people buy assorted rice crackers for celebrations, gifts, presents, souvenirs, etc., and they can also be purchased online. Genuine Soka Senbei have a regional collective trademark on them as a symbol of authenticity to preserve the traditional flavor. Also, in the year 2000, this rice cracker boarded the Space Shuttle Endeavor with Koichi Wakata as he took to the stars. Making Soka senbei, A Specialty of Saitama Prefecture Photo：Rice Here, we'll introduce how Soka senbei are made alongside the video. 1. Milling Polish the rice and grind it with a stone mill. 2.

Finishing (6:26~] Carefully apply soy sauce to the grilled rice crackers one by one with a brush. The video shows the grilling and finishing steps of 9 and 10. As you can see in the video, the hand-grilling is done by a skilled craftsman while watching and adjusting the moisture and cooking that each rice cracker receives. Because the process is so strict, only about 1,500 to 2,000 rice crackers can be roasted in a day. Summary of Soka Senbei Rice Crackers Photo：Soka Senbei, Saitama Prefecture In this article and video, you can see the charm of Soka Senbei as they're carefully grilled one by one. Soka Senbei rice crackers cost more than mass-produced rice crackers because of the particularities regarding ingredients and because the amount that can be made in a day is limited, but we highly recommend trying Soka Senbei, a simple, yet delicious treat. In the video, you can see the rice crackers being turned over and grilled one after another with a rhythmic beat. You can smell the great grilled scent just by looking at the picture. 【Yelp】Komiya Senbei Honpo https://www.yelp.com/biz/%E5%B0%8F%E5%AE%AE%E3%81%9B%E3%82%93%E3%81%B9%E3%81%84%E6%9C%AC%E8%88%97-%E8%8D%89%E5%8A%A0%E5%B8%82?osq=%E5%B0%8F%E5%AE%AE%E3%81%9B%E3%82%93%E3%81%B9%E3%81%84

The video also introduces a store that sells handmade takosen and shows how it's made. Japanese cuisine is often associated with sushi and kappo cuisine, but the king of B-grade gourmet foods, takoyaki, introduced here is also a legitimate Japanese dish. Today, takoyaki has made its way from East Asia to Southeast Asia and to the Americas as a representative Japanese food. Takoyaki and Takosen - A Look at How the Classic Street Foods Are Made! Photo：How to Make Takoyaki ・How To Make Takoyaki - Make the dough by adding water, egg, and yamaimo (Japanese yams) to flour - Boil the octopus in salted water, remove the slime and cut into pieces - Let the dough sit for a day and night to blend - Heat a specialty takoyaki machine and coat with a thin layer of oil and pour in the dough - Add ingredients such as green onions, red ginger, tenkasu, shredded cabbage, and so on and finally add the main ingredient - octopus. - Grill it while rolling it with a bamboo skewer until it is evenly golden brown. - Takoyaki is ready when it is fluffy and round - Top with sauce, green onions, dried seaweed, dried bonito flakes, etc. From 0:28 in the video, you can see how they cook a large batch of takoyaki at once on a big takoyaki machine. ・How To Make Takosen - Place the cooked takoyaki between shrimp flavored rice crackers - Like takoyaki, top with sauce and other toppings The popular toppings are the traditional okonomiyaki sauce, dried bonito flakes, dried seaweed, and mayonnaise, but in recent years, cheese, chili powder, and even chocolate sauce and maple syrup have become popular. You can see the takosen being put together at 6:03 in the video. The History of Takoyaki and Takosen Photo：takoyaki "Aizu-ya" is said to be the inventor of takoyaki, the comfort food of Osaka. In the 1960s, takoyaki stands and night stalls were everywhere, and could be found especially in places like Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. Takoyaki was a popular food, but there was a lot of garbage because of it due to people eating it while walking. Eventually, takosen, introduced in the video, was created from the eco-friendly idea of reducing waste by sandwiching takoyaki between shrimp crackers reducing the materials required to hold and eat it. A Popular Souvenir! The Famous Takoyaki Shop "Wanaka" Photo：Wanaka's takoyaki Takosen is even available at izakaya and speciality stores. The shop featured in the video is Wanaka, a famous takoyaki shop. It's a specialty store for takoyaki and takosen, located mainly in Osaka.

What Is Kiritanpo? Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop- An Introduction to One of Akita's Traditional Menu Items This video titled "Nippon Teshigotokan × Yanagida Kiritanpo shop (ニッポン手仕事図鑑 × 柳田きりたんぽ店)" was created by "Nippon Teshigotozukan." It summarizes how Kiritanpo, a specialty of Akita Prefecture in Japan's Tohoku region, is made. Kiritanpo is an old and historical Japanese food using rice. It is similar to Mochi (Japanese rice cakes) in some ways. It is shown at 0:23 in the video. Kazuno city in Akita Prefecture is known as the birthplace of Kiritanpo. In the city, there are many old shops where Kiritanpo is handmade and a lot of Kiritanpo artisans make superb Kiritanpo. The video shows the interview of an artisan who has been making Kiritanpo since long ago. Take a look at their commitment to the traditional cuisine. The Masterful Skill of Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop Source :YouTube screenshot Yanagida Kiritanpo shop, shown in the video, is an old shop established in 1969 (Showa 44). It makes Kiritanpo using a blend of “Menkoina” and “Kazuno no moeminori,” both of which are local Akita rice varieties. These days most Kiritanpo is made by machine, but Yanagida Kiritanpo shop has continued to hand-make them, and so they retain the taste of home cooking. The artisans of Yanagida Kiritanpo shop shape Kiritanpo so that the grains stay in tact but still allow the flavors to seep into the rice. It is shown from 1:49. In the interview from 1:19, an artisan says, “I like Kiritanpo because it is airy between grains and absorbs soup well.” This is where hand-making overshadows what a machine can do. The trick to great tasting Kiritanpo is grilling it to a golden brown color (3:13). The artisan continues at 2:05 saying, "Kiritanpo was a pioneer in conveying Japanese food culture abroad." Enjoy the Amazing Kiritanpo of Akita Prefecture! Photo： Miso Kiritanpo When you visit Akita Prefecture, a hidden gem of traditional Japanese culture, don’t forget to enjoy Kiritanpo nabe, a local specialty.

Summary of "Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop" Photo：Kiritanpo hot pot This article’s 4-minute-long video introduces how to make Akita’s kiritanpo in detail. According to the artisan (from 2:46), it may look easy, but it is hard to stick rice evenly onto the skewers. The food we eat today is thanks to the art and of accomplished artisans. The kiritanpo of Yanagida Kiritanpo shop is available at Japanese restaurants in Akita Prefecture and also online. ◆Information of Yanagida Kiritanpo shop◆ 【Address】79 Sekimukai Hanawa Kazuno city Akita Prefecture 【Telephone No】0186-23-4468
