Vancouver: Japa Dog

fad or fixture?

Japa Dog is definitely Vancouver’s best “street meat”. It started out as a couple of stands and now it’s about to open its first restaurant. Word of these hot dogs spread like wildfire so on my last trip I tried it. Put simply, it’s a hot dog with Japanese fixings: Kewpie (aka Japanese mayonnaise), seaweed, bonito flakes, etc.

Although the furry with which Japa Dog came in with has subsided, this fad seems to be staying.  Although, Toronto's hot dogs are still Canada's best.
