The Japa Dog carts - two so far - and a soon-to-be-open storefront are teaching the old dog some new tricks. A sidewalk sensation, Japa Dog regularly produces a line-up for their Japanese take on the tubesteak.Even on the dreariest of rainy Vancouver days, Japa Dog shows a dogged entrepreneurial spirit by throwing up some tarps.
First course: the Okonomi Kurobuta Pork. Translation: 100 percent Kurobuta pork (Berkshire pork) plump and juicy with the perfect snap, is presented nestled in a toasted bun, topped with mayo, special okonomi sauce - a tricked-out ketchup - fried cabbage and dried bonito flakes.
Get extra napkins. It's going to get messy.
Next course, the Kurobuto Terimayo of the same delicious all-natural pork with terisauce, fried onions and nori seaweed. Other embellishments included miso-mayo, daikon-oroshi (grated daikon) and ume ( plum).
I might try them at a later date, but for me the Okonomi Kurobuta Pork is the Hello Kitty. And only $6.25.
