This past Sunday March 3rd from 1-3pm, the Gage Residence Association hosted yet another free Japadog jamboree, the turnout was fantastic, and the line, as per usual, dragged on for what seemed to be miles to the average starving student… But what is this mysterious delectable commonly known as the Japadog? Why are they so popular?
The first Japadog stand began in 2005, where it began its rise to fame over the next several years. Now there are over 6 locations in Vancouver. A Japadog ‘aint no ordinary hotdog, more so, it is a dog of a different colour… There are a variety of meats to choose from (including kobe beef and kurobuta) wrapped in a scrumptious bun. But these “Asian fusion dogs” don’t stop there … The hotdogs are topped with exotic Japanese ingredients, such as seaweed, daikon radish, and wasabi mayo. These juicy sausages have become infamous in the greater Vancouver area and, as the photos suggest, Gage goes wild over Japadogs.
