Description

A monja restaurant on a back alley off the third block of Monja Street, named after the old sweet shops: monja used to be sold as a children's snack, and the owners took the name to keep that in view. It opens at 17:00 on weekdays and 16:00 at weekends, and runs to 23:00.

The monja here are a mix of old and new. Besides the Tsukishima standard of mentaiko and rice cake, there is one built on Hatcho miso from Okazaki in Aichi, and one with a whole camembert on top.
