River Dinner Cruise through Tokyo Bay with Edomaekisen - Tokyo, Japan

 After a rather jammed packed first day in Japan we were looking forward to relaxing and getting doted on a little bit at the river cruise. We took the shuttle to the Tokyo bay docks then waited in the sitting area. Once it was our time to get on the boat, they of course made up take off their shoes as the cooking/sitting area in the boat was all tatami mates. We quickly realized we were the only foreigners on the boat and the staff looked a little concerned, properly wondering how in the world did a foreigner find out about the boat cruises they do. haha. They were very polite and still served us very well. 

We did the monja special cruise, it was a bit of struggle to decern which dishes didn't have fish in it. Basically they give you all the ingredients and you cook the Monja on a grill set into the boat floor. Its a bit similar to okonomiyaki. Monjayaki is a type of Japanese pan-fried batter, but using different liquid ingredient. We way way over ordered though. We didn't realized how much food it really was. We were struggling with knowing how to cook it, even though they gave us a link to a couple videos so the staff stepped in and helped us. 

They pointed out a couple monuments along the shoreline as we passed by them. You could see the Tokyo tower quite well. Then they stopped in the water for a bit and turned off the lights we could experience the shoreline a bit more. Everyone was seated by windows and we could slide them open and enjoy the breeze and sights. Although a bit on the awkward side a couple times with trying to figure out how to cook a couple of the dishes I would defiantly go back.
