Back in Osaka and back to eating some of the city's specialties. Okonomiyaki is a filling and satisfying meal that packs in flavors and textures. Momojuu the second time around was just as fun as
the first visit. This time we learned more about monjayaki.
Originating from the Tokyo area, monjayaki is another savory "pancake". The differences between okonomiyaki and monjayaki are the seasonings and cooking style. Okonomiyaki is a firmer pancake form, while monjayaki is softer, spread throughout the iron cooktop, and eaten straight from that heat source.
I love both dishes, but if I had a choice I would go for the monjayaki. It's lighter and more fun to eat because of its interactivity right in front of you on the cooktop.
