I visited a long-established monjayaki shop in Asakusa. Besides monja, the menu has a wide variety, including seafood teppanyaki and okonomiyaki, and the taste itself was good overall. The shop is run single-handedly by an elderly woman, and the style is basically that you eat following her rules and her way of doing things. I think regulars, or people who go understanding that kind of atmosphere, will enjoy it, but some people going for the first time without knowing anything might be a little surprised. Also, the interior gives an old-fashioned impression, and in terms of cleanliness there were some parts that bothered me a bit. I felt that if the griddle were maintained a little better, I could eat with more peace of mind. I think it suits people who can enjoy the shop's character and rules, and people who like the atmosphere of a long-established shop.

An old-fashioned okonomiyaki and monjayaki shop run by the proprietress all on her own. The taste is very good, and I'd like to visit again.

A cozy little place with a strong Showa-era feel inside, run by a mother on her own. The okonomiyaki is a bit on the small side, but it has a refined, lovely flavor.

Visited with my family right after opening on a Sunday. The kids, eating monjayaki for the first time, seemed to find it really novel and ate it while having fun, saying 'yummy 😋'. The mother running the shop is brisk and pleasant. As the reviews say, the equipment is well-worn and not clean, but my personal opinion is that stuff like that should be seen as 'character'~

A friendly, kind grandma; as we were leaving she gave us a good-luck ema as a gift. Her words 'stay warm' were warm too, it was truly soothing
