Tokyo's Must-Try Local Specialties: Restaurants in the Tsukishima Area
This restaurant specializes in monjayaki, a classic dish representing Tokyo's downtown cuisine. Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from Tsukishima Station, it can be found on Sanban-gai of Nishinaka-dori, also known as "Monja Street."
Known for its popularity, the restaurant sometimes draws lines of eager diners. With many tables available, however, seating moves quickly and wait times are kept to a minimum.

Monja Kura offers an extensive menu of monjayaki, allowing guests to customize their dishes with a variety of toppings. The most popular choice is the signature "Kura Special Monja."
This hearty dish is generously filled with seafood including crab, scallops, clams, squid, shrimp, octopus, and spicy cod roe, along with chewy rice cakes and noodles for added substance.

Monja Kura is known for its monjayaki, which features a well-balanced dashi broth that maintains its flavor without becoming overly salty, even as it cooks. Thanks to this, you can easily enjoy two or more varieties in one visit.
If you are unfamiliar with how to cook monjayaki, the staff are happy to prepare it for you or teach you the proper technique.

Kura Special Monja
A signature monja featuring a luxurious mix of seafood, corn, mochi, and soba noodles. For your first serving, a staff member will prepare it skillfully at your table. The monja here is light yet packed with umami from the dashi broth. After trying other monja elsewhere, I found this one to be by far the most delicious, showing just how different monja can be depending on the restaurant.

This monja restaurant is operated by a seafood wholesaler based in Tsukiji. Located on the 4th Avenue of Tsukishima's famous Monja Street, it also has a branch nearby.
There are even teppan grills at the counter seats, creating a welcoming atmosphere where even solo diners or pairs can easily enjoy monja.

The signature dish here is the "Mentaiko Mochi Monja." The diced mochi melts as it cooks, blending perfectly with the savory batter.
Another popular choice is the "Squid Ink Monja." Despite its striking black appearance, it is known for its rich, delicious flavor. It pairs especially well with toppings like cheese or tomato.

In addition to monjayaki and okonomiyaki made with fresh seafood, Tsukishima Monja Moheji also offers teppan-yaki dishes featuring seafood delivered directly from Tsukiji Fish Market.
Depending on the season, you can enjoy specialties such as whole grilled squid seasoned with a savory soy sauce made with squid liver, or plump, large oysters grilled in butter.

Squid Ink Monja
I ordered the squid ink monja with an extra cheese topping. The staff cooked it with great care and a friendly smile, even suggesting, "It's delicious with a sprinkle of pepper." Adding pepper gave the dish a wonderful depth of flavor, but it was just as tasty without it. This was such a delicious monjayaki that I definitely want to come back again!

Iroha is a monjayaki restaurant that has been serving customers in Tsukishima for nearly 70 years. Located on the second floor of a building on Tsukishima's famous Monja Street (Sanbangai), it offers a lively and casual atmosphere reminiscent of an izakaya, making it the perfect place to enjoy monjayaki and drinks with friends.

A distinctive feature here is the use of dried "sakura ebi" (cherry shrimp) instead of ordinary small dried shrimp. Combined with sliced squid, these ingredients create a rich, flavorful dashi broth.
A wide variety of toppings are available, allowing you to create your own original monjayaki. Options include unique choices such as Baby Star ramen snacks and Camembert cheese.

One of the restaurant’s specialties is the "Sapporo Monja," a creative take on monjayaki inspired by Sapporo ramen. This unique dish features noodles, butter, and corn, all seasoned with miso.
Guests typically cook the monja themselves at the table, but if you are unsure how to proceed, the staff are happy to assist.

When it comes to Monja in Tsukishima, the Mentaiko Mochi Cheese variety is especially famous. While the mentaiko mochi is delicious, the Baby Star Monja is also highly recommended. The crispy Baby Star noodles are sprinkled on top at the end, adding a delightful texture and flavor. Although the Mixed Monja also caught our attention, this time we chose the Baby Star Monja and added our favorite toppings, creating a Monja just the way we like it.

The "Classic Nostalgic Monja" features the same ingredients as when the restaurant first opened: cabbage, sliced squid, dried shrimp, and crispy tempura bits. This simple combination lets you fully enjoy the flavors of shrimp and squid.
A customer favorite is the "Mochi Cheese Mentaiko" monja. The chewy mochi and melted cheese blend perfectly with the savory mentaiko, creating an irresistible taste that will have you coming back for more.

Several varieties of monja are available in half sizes, making it perfect for those who want to sample a little of everything.
After enjoying monja or okonomiyaki, be sure to try the Japanese-style crepe for dessert. The thinly grilled crepe is filled with ingredients like sweet red bean paste or apricot, then rolled up for a delightful finish.

The "Shio-dare Cabbage" was so delicious that it made me want to buy the salty dressing to take home. We also ordered half portions of the "Classic Nostalgic Monja" and the "Curry Monja."

Enjoy monjayaki generously filled with large-cut seafood pieces. The "Sakai Special" is especially popular for its abundance of fresh seafood ingredients.
Monja Maguroya also offers a unique "Maguro Monja," featuring the restaurant's signature diced tuna combined with the classic monjayaki mix. Even cooked in monja style, the quality of the tuna stands out.
The signature dish here is the "Exquisite Tuna Steak." Large cuts of fresh tuna are delivered directly from Toyosu Market and stir-fried with bean sprouts.

Tokyo's Must-Try Local Specialties: Restaurants in the Fukagawa Area
Photograph:なまらうまい
Kappou Miyako is renowned for serving Fukagawa-meshi, one of Tokyo’s signature local dishes. The restaurant is located about a five-minute walk from Morishita Station, heading toward Fukagawa Basho Street.
Founded in the Taisho era as a traditional kappo-style restaurant, it retains the nostalgic charm of old Tokyo. Guests can enjoy their meal seated at low tables in spacious tatami rooms, and private rooms are also available.
Photograph:いけくみ
You can enjoy "Fukagawa-meshi," a traditional rice dish cooked with petite asari clams. The clams are first gently simmered in dashi broth and seasonings, and then cooked together with rice in the flavorful broth.
The dish is served in a round wooden container called a wappa, with the rice steamed to perfection. When you lift the lid, a delicate aroma of clams greets you.
Photograph:kleinehexe
The wooden box holds about one and a half servings of rice. In addition to the "Fukagawa-meshi Set," which comes with clear soup, there are also sets that include sashimi or tempura.
Along with the signature Fukagawa-meshi, the nostalgic atmosphere—reminiscent of the Taisho and early Showa eras—adds to the restaurant's unique charm.
KARLOG
Of course, I ordered the signature Fukagawa-meshi set. About 10 minutes after ordering, it arrived at my table. It was my first time having authentic Fukagawa-meshi at a restaurant, and it was truly delicious. The gentle umami flavor spread softly in my mouth, and each grain of rice was perfectly cooked, resulting in exquisite taste. The flavors were refined and not overpowering, reflecting careful craftsmanship. It was a meal that warmed both body and soul.

You can immediately sense the rich atmosphere of tradition as you enter the restaurant. Although I didn't have the opportunity to choose my own dishes, I was completely satisfied with the "Miyako Set" that my companion had arranged in advance. The signature dish, Fukagawa-meshi with clams, was excellent, as were the sashimi, tempura, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), and clear soup. Every dish was impressive and paired perfectly with sake.

There are two local specialties here: "Fukagawa-meshi" and "Fukagawa Donburi," both generously featuring clams.

Fukagawa-meshi is a traditional dish where rice is cooked together with clams and shimeji mushrooms in a flavorful dashi broth. The rice fully absorbs the rich taste of the clams.
For those who want to enjoy a variety of flavors, the "Fukagawa Set" is available. This set offers a generous portion that is sure to satisfy your appetite.

I ordered the Fukagawa Donburi, a rice bowl topped with nori seaweed, green onions, fried tofu, and an abundance of clams. The flavorful dashi broth was truly impressive. This traditional style of Fukagawa Donburi is enjoyed with piping hot dashi poured over the rice, creating a wonderful harmony of flavors. It also comes with two egg yolks, which, when mixed into the broth, make the taste even richer and more mellow.

First, the sheer quantity of clams is impressive—there must be around 50, if not more. The rice is cooked with clams, and then even more clams are generously piled on top. With every bite, you can savor the rich umami of the clams’ natural amino acids. Even with a light touch of soy sauce and dashi, the flavors are perfectly balanced. This dish truly brings out the essence of shellfish in every bite.

An izakaya located near Exit 2 of Monzen-nakacho Station, Monzen Chaya has been serving robatayaki and its signature "Asari-meshi" (clam rice), a local specialty of Fukagawa, for over 40 years. The restaurant features a unique cooking style developed in-house.
Guests can enjoy the lively atmosphere from semicircular counter seating that surrounds the grill, allowing them to watch the chefs at work.

The restaurant’s signature dish since its founding is the “Fukagawa Asari Seiro-meshi.”
Prepared using a traditional Japanese steaming method called takiawase, generous amounts of fresh clams are placed atop rice and steamed together. The result is a flavorful combination of tender clams, savory broth, and perfectly fluffy rice.

During the Edo period, the Fukagawa area became famous for its abundance of clams, giving rise to a variety of local clam dishes. At Monzen Chaya, you can enjoy not only clam rice but also other clam specialties.
Classic offerings include "Asari no Sakamushi" (steamed clams with sake) and "Asari no Kakiage" (clam tempura fritters). In season, you can also savor large clams grilled over the robata hearth.

This restaurant is owned by the eldest of the "Idutsu Three Brothers," a family of sumo wrestlers who belonged to the Idutsu stable. It is located near the Ryogoku 2-chome intersection.
The interior offers a calm, traditional Japanese atmosphere. While there are many tatami seating areas, semi-private table seating is also available with advance reservation.

You can choose from five different types of chanko hot pot broth, with the soy sauce-based option being the most popular. The rich soy sauce is blended with a savory chicken bone broth, creating a well-balanced flavor that you can enjoy to the last bite.
The house specialty is the chicken and pork meatballs, which are seasoned with garlic to add depth and richness to the soup.

There are also lighter options such as "Ponzu Chanko" made with a delicate chicken broth and simple "Salt Chanko."
A unique choice is the "Curry Chanko," featuring a Japanese-style dashi soup. Not only are the ingredients delicious, but the dish is also enjoyed to the very end with udon or Chinese-style noodles.

During the Grand Sumo Tournament, more than half the seats quickly fill up, and before you know it, the restaurant is full. Both traditional tatami and table seating are available, so it’s best to arrive early. The menu features chanko nabe, a hearty hot pot with a choice of salt, soy sauce, or miso broth. I chose the soy sauce base, which was light yet flavorful. The appetizers, chicken wings, and sashimi were also excellent. The meal concluded with zosui (rice porridge), making for a thoroughly satisfying dining experience.

I decided to try the curry chanko after reading other reviews, and it was the right choice! The best part was finishing the meal with rice cooked in the leftover broth. I was disappointed with chanko at another restaurant before, but the flavors here were truly excellent.

Tokyo’s Local Specialty Cuisine: Restaurants in the Jindaiji Area
Located near the famous Jindaiji Temple in Chofu, Tokyo, this restaurant is situated in an area long known for its ideal conditions for growing buckwheat, making soba noodles a local specialty.
The restaurant features a traditional Japanese exterior, with both indoor table seating and outdoor seats surrounded by greenery.

The signature dish is "Jindaiji Soba." Made with a higher ratio of wheat flour, this "san-nana soba" features thin noodles with a pleasantly chewy texture.
It is served with a mildly sweet dipping sauce, making it light and easy to enjoy. Even the regular portion is quite generous, while the medium size offers enough for about three servings.
Photograph:Morirou21
Tempura is highly praised here, with many guests ordering the "Ten-zaru" (cold soba with tempura) or the assorted tempura platter as an appetizer.
The recommended dish is the "Assorted Vegetable Tempura Platter," featuring a colorful selection of seasonal vegetables, wild herbs, and mushrooms, all beautifully fried to complement the soba.

I visited Tamon for a slightly late lunch and enjoyed their Jindaiji soba for the first time. I ordered the large size as usual, but was amazed by the generous portion when it arrived! Despite the impressive serving, I finished it all—the soba had a firm, satisfying texture and was truly delicious. The staff were also very welcoming and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience.

I enjoyed Jindaiji soba and wild herb tempura. Wild herb tempura is quite a rare treat! The tempura included ingredients like seri (Japanese parsley, dropwort), myoga ginger, and maitake mushrooms—perhaps even some local vegetables from Chofu. It was very satisfying. I went for the medium size because I was hungry, but even the regular size is quite generous. I think I ate a bit too much.

Located about a 2-minute walk from the "Jindaiji" bus stop, Jindaiji Soba Kiyoshi specializes in soba noodles. Guests can enjoy dishes prepared with Kyoto-style dashi broth and carefully crafted ingredients.
The tranquil Japanese-style interior offers both table and tatami seating. It's an ideal setting to relax, enjoy a drink, and sample a variety of small dishes at your own pace.

The signature dish here is the "Special Kamo Seiro" (chilled soba noodles with duck). Unlike the standard "Kamo-jiru Seiro," this dish features beautifully arranged slices of duck, allowing you to fully savor the rich flavor of the meat.
The duck is tender even in thick cuts and has a refined, savory fat. Adding the duck fat to the dipping sauce for the thin soba noodles enhances the flavor even more.

Soba topped with tender herring, known for its gentle sweetness and delicate texture that falls apart easily with chopsticks, is a popular choice here. The herring is semi-dried, then carefully rehydrated and simmered in a flavorful sauce.
The "Special NISHIN Soba" features thin soba noodles and herring in a warm broth, offering a clean, subtle sweetness.

Of course, I ordered the Kamo Seiro (duck soba). Jindaiji Soba Kiyoshi’s Kamo Seiro is my favorite. The thick slices of duck are tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. I especially love the thinly cut soba noodles—their smooth texture and silky finish make them irresistible. The dipping sauce is also perfectly to my taste. Once again, everything was outstanding.

Nishin Soba
Beautifully presented with an artistic sense reminiscent of traditional Japanese paintings, the arrangement creates a sense of depth and perspective that is truly impressive. The soba noodles are exceptionally thin and delicate, offering a refined flavor. They would pair wonderfully with grated yam as well. The broth is rich and flavorful, with the sweetness of the herring gradually blending into the dashi, resulting in a deliciously harmonious taste.

Located about a one-minute walk from the Jindaiji bus stop, this restaurant sits along the approach to Jindaiji Temple and exudes a traditional Japanese ambiance from its exterior.
Both the interior and terrace seating areas offer plenty of tables, allowing guests to relax while enjoying views of the pond and greenery beside the restaurant.

The restaurant’s specialty is the "Tenmori" set, which features soba noodles served with tempura. The soba is known as "Nihachi soba," made with a blend of 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour—a traditional ratio that has been cherished since the Edo period.
The dipping sauce is on the sweeter side, a characteristic also dating back to the Edo era. Here, it is customary to enjoy the tempura dipped in the soba sauce as well.
Photograph:二日酔い飯
The menu features several varieties of soba and a selection of side dishes. Among the most popular is the "Miso Oden," a dish of konjac topped with a savory miso sauce, prepared in a style reminiscent of dengaku.
The restaurant also offers local craft beers such as "Jindaiji Beer," making it a pleasant spot to relax after exploring the Jindaiji area.

This restaurant serves Ni-hachi soba, a style of buckwheat noodles that offers a firm texture and a smooth, satisfying bite—among the best I've tried in the Jindaiji area. The soba was served remarkably quickly. From the restaurant, you can enjoy views of a pond and, during this season, the beautiful green maple leaves. The pleasant breeze on the terrace and the scenic surroundings made for an especially enjoyable soba experience.

We were seated at a table by the pond. Today, my wife enjoyed the Mori Soba, while I chose the Tenmori Soba. Both feature the restaurant’s signature ni-hachi soba noodles. On a hot day, nothing beats the refreshing taste of chilled soba. The tempura was freshly fried, crispy, and paired perfectly with the noodles. Dining on delicious soba surrounded by nature is a true pleasure.

Located near the main gate of Jindaiji Temple, which is home to Tokyo's oldest statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, this restaurant is designed in the style of a traditional teahouse along the temple approach.
Inside, guests can choose between table seating and traditional Japanese tatami seating. There are also covered outdoor seats, allowing you to relax and enjoy the natural breeze and sunlight.

The specialty here is "Teuchi Arabiki Soba"—handmade soba noodles crafted from coarsely ground buckwheat flour, giving the noodles a darker hue than usual.
These noodles are firmer than standard soba, offering a robust texture and a rich buckwheat flavor that unfolds with each bite. They pair exceptionally well with the restaurant’s light, refreshing dipping sauce.
Photograph:tcmcmycn
The "Tororo" (grated yam) dishes are also very popular. Pictured is the "Mugi-toro Set," which includes rice topped with tororo and a small serving of soba noodles. You can enjoy both the classic combination of rice and tororo as well as soba with tororo.
Another nice touch: when you order soba, you are served "Ariheito," a traditional peanut candy.
仙川あいり
I ordered the Sansai Soba (JPY 1,100) and added grated yam (Tororo, JPY 300). The soba here is truly delicious! Maybe it’s because of the cold weather, but I couldn’t believe how comforting and gentle the flavors were—I just couldn’t stop eating. The mountain vegetables were all delicious, and topping the noodles with tororo to enjoy Tororo Soba made the meal even more satisfying.

Coarse-ground Soba Noodles
The soba noodles arrived with a slightly darker color, so I enjoyed them with plenty of grated Japanese radish. The noodles had a wonderfully firm and chewy texture, offering a truly exquisite taste. Coming all this way in the cold was well worth it. When the staff brought out sobayu (the hot water used to cook soba), I mentioned how much I enjoyed the firm texture, to which they replied, "That's right—our soba has more bite than most others."

Established in the Edo period, this restaurant has preserved its traditional flavors for five generations. It is located about a 3-minute walk from the Jindaiji bus stop, near the main gate of Jindaiji Temple.
The interior offers a serene Japanese ambiance. The first floor features both table and tatami seating, while the second floor can accommodate larger groups.

Known for its firm, chewy soba noodles and sweet dipping sauce. The soba is made from stone-milled buckwheat flour and chilled with natural spring water to create its signature texture.
The sweet dipping sauce has remained unchanged since the restaurant first opened. While some are surprised by its sweetness, it is said to perfectly complement the soba when enjoyed together.
Photograph:アフタヌーンティ
The signature dish is the "Musashino" set, which features three varieties of soba noodles served with "Shojin-age"—a selection of tempura made from vegetables and wild herbs.
Each soba bowl is topped with a different ingredient: mountain vegetables, grated nameko mushrooms, and shredded omelet, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors in one meal.
MARUTOYO
These soba noodles are crafted to have a firm, satisfying texture. They use buckwheat flour from Aomori Prefecture, chosen for its close resemblance to the local flour once used by the founder, which is no longer available. Because buckwheat flour is sensitive to heat and air, we grind it using a traditional stone mill rather than machines. Ganso Shimada Ya remains dedicated to the authentic, robust texture and rich flavor that have been cherished for generations.

Wild Herb Tempura Set
The tempura features local wild greens, such as seri (Japanese parsley), yomogi (mugwort), maitake mushrooms, and perhaps even dandelion. The light, crispy tempura pairs surprisingly well with soba dipping sauce rather than the lighter tempura sauce. The soba noodles are thin yet exceptionally chewy and resilient. The dipping sauce is light in color and quite sweet. Personally, this is my favorite soba among all I've tried.

Tokyo’s Signature Local Cuisine: Restaurants of the Izu Islands
Photograph:すえるじおおりば
Located about 280 km from central Tokyo, Hachijojima is accessible by a one-hour flight. Just a five-minute drive from Hachijojima Airport, this izakaya offers a unique taste of the island’s regional cuisine.
The restaurant is housed in a traditional Japanese-style home, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere where both solo diners and first-time visitors can feel at ease.
Photograph:黒子★
The signature dish here is "Shima-zushi," featuring fresh seafood from the waters around Hachijojima marinated in a soy-based sauce, served atop slightly sweet sushi rice. Uniquely, Japanese mustard is used instead of wasabi.
Many diners are surprised by how well the mustard complements the seafood. Please note that advance reservations are required.
Photograph:majorca
Enjoy dishes made with cheese crafted from Hachijojima-raised milk, as well as unique specialties such as simmered green sea turtle. The restaurant also offers a selection of shochu distilled on the island.
Local favorites include tempura made with ashitaba greens and thick, flavorful shiitake mushrooms, both known for their rich taste. These pair especially well with the refreshing Ashitaba Sour.

I had pre-ordered the island-style sushi, which features marinated fish topped with mustard instead of wasabi. Surprisingly, the combination worked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. For drinks, I sampled a variety of Hachijojima shochu displayed at the counter before taking a taxi back to my hotel. I also enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the owner, and the staff provided excellent service. This izakaya truly exceeded my expectations.

We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including simmered sea turtle, island-style sushi, tempura made with ashitaba leaves, an assorted sashimi platter, caprese salad with mozzarella made from Jersey cow milk, and kara-age (Japanese fried chicken). The island sushi had a pleasantly sweet flavor and was delicious. The sushi topped with rock seaweed was also excellent. The simmered sea turtle had no unpleasant odor and was surprisingly enjoyable.

Located about a 10-minute drive from Hachijojima Airport, this restaurant is operated by a local seafood processing company. It is open for both lunch and dinner, and also sells dried fish as souvenirs.

The local specialty of Hachijo Island, "Shima-zushi," features fresh fish marinated in a flavorful soy-based sauce, with a hint of mustard added between the fish and rice. The type of fish used varies depending on the day's catch. The result is a sushi with a rich, savory taste and a pleasantly chewy texture. The restaurant also offers a "Marinated Local Fish Rice Bowl," featuring the same marinated fish served over rice.

The signature dish here is "Nama Kusaya" (fresh kusaya fish).
Muroaji (horse mackerel) and flying fish are marinated in a secret sauce, resulting in a dish with a distinctive aroma but a surprisingly mild and savory flavor. Adding mayonnaise makes it even milder and more approachable.
かもしみそ
I ordered the Shimazushi set. The fish, marinated in the restaurant’s special aged sauce, has a rich, silky texture and exceptional flavor. Each piece is generously sized, making for a truly satisfying meal. Shimazushi typically features white fish, and the combination of vinegared rice and spicy mustard enhances the overall taste. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Shimazushi.

Spacious and comfortable with a welcoming atmosphere. I tried kusaya for the first time in my life—while it certainly had a distinctive aroma, it was surprisingly mild once I tasted it. The more I chewed, the more flavorful juices came out, making it a perfect pairing with shochu. I also enjoyed the day's recommended dish: potatoes topped with generous amounts of rock seaweed (I forgot the exact name), which was also delicious.

Located along the road leading from Hachijo Chuo Road to the Hachijo Town Hall, Sushi Dokoro Ginpachi is a popular sushi restaurant. During the tourist season, it often fills up with reservations, so booking in advance is recommended.
The restaurant features a traditional sushi counter, raised tatami seating, and tables that can accommodate groups.

The restaurant’s signature "Shima Sushi" features nine pieces per serving, each topped with a variety of marinated fish.
While most of the sushi uses white fish, which takes on the color of the marinade and may look similar, each piece offers a unique flavor and texture when tasted.
Photograph:Snowman66
The restaurant offers both Chirashi Sushi and Edomae-style sushi, featuring not only seafood unique to Hachijo Island but also classic toppings commonly found in central Tokyo.
Two types of sushi rice are available: the slightly sweet Hachijo Island style and the red vinegar Edomae style. The Edomae-style rice is used for all sushi except "Shima-zushi."
r2.ne
Shima-zushi is known for its marinated white fish and a touch of mustard. While the pieces may look similar, each features a different fish: medai, shima-aji, onagadai, hachibiki (the red one), kuromutsu, and flying fish. An impressive selection! Naturally, each fish has its own unique, delicious flavor. The mustard pairs perfectly with the marinade. I was curious about the combination, but it really works well.

I ordered the Ginpachi Chirashi for lunch. Served in a two-tiered lacquered box, the seafood was exceptionally fresh—among the best I’ve had anywhere. Both the flavor and presentation were outstanding. You can choose between traditional vinegared rice or a slightly sweet soy-flavored rice, and both options are delicious.
