This is the Tokyo equivalent to okonomi-yaki ("anything you like" pancakes), which are a specialty of Kansai and Hiroshima. The batter for monja-yaki is more liquid than for okonomi-yaki, and the seasonings (such as Worcestershire sauce) are mixed into the batter rather than added after cooking. Originally a between-meals snack food, monja-yaki is prepared on a wide metal hotplate in front of the diners, and is normally eaten with a small metal spatula.
