Isesaki Monja

On the iron griddle, the loose batter sizzles loudly. It features chewy yellow Chinese noodles, plenty of cabbage, bean sprouts, and tenkasu (tempura scraps). As you mix it, the faint, sweet aroma of strawberry syrup wafts up, bringing an involuntary smile to your face. Isesaki Monja is a slightly unusual type of monja that has been beloved in Isesaki. The style from the downtown Asakusa area traveled along the Tobu Isesaki Line and evolved uniquely in this region. Its most notable features are the yellow Chinese noodles and the sweet seasoning. Flavors vary by shop, ranging from 'Ama' (sweet), which includes strawberry syrup, to 'Amakara' (sweet and savory), which is seasoned with curry powder. Topping it with aonori (dried seaweed) or saki-ika (dried shredded squid) adds a lively aroma. It is sweet, chewy, and possesses a fun quality reminiscent of old-fashioned Japanese snacks. It is a beloved 'snack monja' cherished by the people of Isesaki.
