Saori Saori
Hello, everyone. Speaking of specialty in Osaka...... It’s nice and warm, and tasty! I would pick out takoyaki! There are so many places where we can eat takoyaki in Osaka and I love the texture of octopus a lot! I’m Japanese Snacks Republic’s Boss!
Hello, everyone! Speaking of specialty in Osaka...... I would pick out okonomiyaki! When I visited one of my friends in Osaka, we made it together and I really enjoyed it! It’s Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!
This kind of food made with flour is usually famous in Kansai region (south-west side of Japan) but today, what we’ll be featuring is the one which originally came from Kanto region (south-east side of Japan)!
What? I wonder what it would be......
Yep! I’m sure you have eaten it! This one!!

Whaaaat?????? Monjayaki originally came from Kanto region??
Yep. How it looks and how we make are similar to okonomiyaki that you mentioned, so many people think it’s also from Kansai region.

In fact, it’s originally from Kanto region! What is Monjayaki?

Monjayaki is one of the dishes in Japan where you make batter with flour and water and fry it on the pan. It’s similar to okonomiyaki but it’s runnier than okonomiyaki since more water is added.
They say monjayaki was originally made because people in Kanto region tried to copy okonomiyaki, ending up becoming too watery. But then, children started to eat while enjoying mixing it up. This is said to be how people started to eat monjayaki.
It has ingredients similar to okonomiyaki, but the major ones are vegetables and seafood. Many people also like to put the ones that have strong flavor and texture such as mentaiko (spicy cod roe), mochi (rice cake), cheese, kimuchi, and etc.
You know what? Every time I make monjayaki, I’m not really confident if I’m making it right since it becomes so watery and runny. It tastes good though.
If it’s good, it’s all good. There is the best way of cooking it but it’s all good as long as you put your favorite ingredients and enjoy eating it.
That’s good to know!! By the way, the snack we’ll be featuring today is the one flavored with this monjayaki, right?
Yep. And, guess what? The size is a little bigger than the previous one of the Jagariko series!

What Does Jagariko - Mentaiko Cheese Monjayaki Taste Like?

  • The latest flavor, beautifully replicated from monjayaki!
  • It’s a well-balanced flavor and the perfect mixture of sauce, cheese and mentaiko! You’ll get the aftertaste of katsuobushi (bonito) which we sprinkle on okonomiyaki!
  • You’ll taste sauce for okonomiyaki too! It’s deep, salty and tasty! Enjoy the perfect texture of longer pieces than other flavors of jagariko series!
Actually, I taste sauce more. But I also taste cheese and spiciness of mentaiko, which is just like ‘monjayaki’~!
You see this......? The chunk of this umami that is in each piece. Once we bite it, its umami spreads out in our mouth, which makes you happy!
The best part about this jagariko series is that this crunchy fried potato stick~! It tastes so good and this time, each piece is longer (large size)! It sure is a great deal too!
Great Deal with L-Size Jagariko!
It’s super good! Enjoy a bigger size potato stick snack, Jagariko too!(by Boss)
