Now, I'm heading to Nishinaka-dori. There were 51 stores when the number of stores was counted on the signboard of the Monja Promotion Association.

By the way, as you may know why it came to be called Monja, the children practiced writing letters on an iron plate because flour was dissolved in water. Because the baked characters were used as snacks, the character grilling collapsed and became `` Monja '', and the adults said, `` Don't you get rid of it '' and `` Nanja Monja '' There is a theory that there is.

According to a young landlord of a long-established Monjaya shop, about 15 years ago the number of Monjaya shops was about half, but it quickly increased to about 70 houses. Due to the difficult competition, we are devising each store for soup stock and toppings. But it seems that mentaiko is a standard at any shop. When I enter from the mentaiko from the beginning, the inside of my mouth is salty and I don't understand the taste, so I try to enter from a light system such as green onions and seaweed.

As an aside, there is a lot of celebrity colored paper on the wall of Monjaya. Nowadays, many people refuse signs because they are spread immediately on SNS or used for advertisements. For some reason, comedians and athletes are okay.

On weekdays, after 3 o'clock, a land turtle, who seems to be 80 cm long, is taking a walk. Is it only me who feels like there is something good to see turtles? This turtle is wearing a yellow hat, so you can see it right away.

In the past, meat fries made thinly stretched horse meat and fried in oil were sold at stalls on Nishinaka-dori for people working at shipyards. Tsukishima's specialty lever fry was born later, which was made with pork lever. However, it seems that the shadow is now thin, and there are few shops on the menu on Monja Street. One shop received one order on weekdays and two or three on weekends. Some shops fry thick lever, but what I like is the old-fashioned thinly stretched and fried lever fry. A person who grew up in Tsukishima said nostalgicly, "When I was a child, I ate it instead of a snack." This soul food costs about 150 yen per bottle, and you need to make a reservation in advance for takeout.

On Monja Street, melon bread is an energetic alternative to lever fly. Why is this melon bread here? A melon bakery in the future says, "Monja has a strong saltiness, so I want something sweet to eat. It's sweet melon bread, "It was a big hit." This melon bread, on the surface of Cali, moist inside. It smells like butter. The other melon bakery opened three years ago. Both are delicious, so compare them.

Near the entrance of Sanbangai, there is a building written as Tsukishima Onsen. At the back of the building is Tsukishima Kannon. It is also known as Tsukishima Kaiundo, made by volunteers on Nishinaka-dori.

Well, the last thing you can see is the oldest former police box building in Tokyo. It is a small police box built in 1926, when Tsukishima was still part of Kyobashi Ward. It seems to be used as an active police box, but now it is a local safety center.

This tour is over here at Monja Street 3rd Avenue. Eat Monja Street Monja, see a turtle, and get the luck of Tsukishima at Tsukishima Kaiundo and return home. Well, happy, sir!
