Japadog · Vancouver

Japadog is a Japanese-Canadian street hot dog: a kurobuta sausage in a bun, topped with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayonnaise and crisp dried seaweed. The Terimayo is the original.

Japadog was launched in 2005 by Noriki Tamura at a cart at Burrard and Smithe in downtown Vancouver. The Terimayo dog combined a kurobuta pork sausage with teriyaki sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise and seaweed flakes, sparking a queue that ran the block and earned Anthony Bourdain's praise on No Reservations. By 2010 there were three Vancouver carts plus a brick-and-mortar on Robson, and Japadog opened a New York East Village shop the same year.
