Haha, Made of Stone, you're very unusal, you like both Takoyaki and Monja...?
I like Takoyaki but I've only tried Monja once in my whole life and I think that's enough.
Have you tried Akashi-yaki? I think it's a brother/sister of Takoyaki, and I love it.
Good luck on your Okonomi lunch.
They say that Matsumae, and neighboring Fukushima towns (close to Hakodate city) produce about 80% of dried surume squid in the market.I love that stuff but the theaters/cinemas must stink because the only dried squids I've eaten have been pretty smelly.
