JAPADOG store located in Vancouver, Canada


Takuma Tamura who is the owner of JAPADOG. Embracing the dream of "succeeding by attracting stalls abroad", I came to Vancouver, Canada with a couple with a little money in 2005.


Mr. Tamura bought a used car of 1,500 dollars (about 160,000 yen) and started to sell hot dogs on the street after 3 months, without knowing English at all.



When work started, Mr. Tamura put on an orange cook coat ......


I wear a cap whose store name is embroidered.



More than 27 types of hot dogs are provided in JAPADOG.


For example, "OROSHI" which topped with fresh radish


"EBI TEMPURA" that you can enjoy the texture of crunchy


It's like Yakisoba bread "Yakisoba"


For additional toppings, ingredients unique to Japanese food, such as Daikonroshiro, bonito and chopped glue, are lining up.




Including topping it is also possible to order 100 to 150 hot dogs.


Initially it was JAPADOG, which was operated by two couples, but as the subject became more fixed customers increased, the Hollywood stars also came to pass. Besides, I was able to afford to hire staff, and in 2009 we increased the number of stalls to 2, and catering related to movies and requests for opening events also increased.


In 2010, not only the stalls, but also JAPADOG stores are open. It has been said that various items that could not be made because of stalls could be offered as stores were made. As of 2018, JAPADOG operates with 8 stalls and 2 shops. If you are busy, you may sell 700 pieces a day.


"I am growing up eating Japanese food culture and I hope to be able to play a role of unifying familiar Japanese food culture with Canadian food culture and spreading it," says Tamura Talking and the movie is over.
