Our Beef Japadog takes the Japanese street-cart hot dog and gives it a Calgary NE home. A juicy beef sausage is tucked into a soft brioche bun and generously topped Japanese style - takoyaki-style sauce, Japanese mayo, green onion and nori flakes - for a handheld that is savoury, sweet and deeply umami all at once.
The japadog was born from Japanese vendors reimagining the North American hot dog with their own pantry, and that is exactly the spirit we cook with. We start with a well-seasoned beef sausage, griddle it so the skin snaps, then build it in a pillowy brioche bun that soaks up the sauce instead of falling apart.
It is the item we hand to guests who want something familiar but new, and it pairs perfectly with a side of takoyaki. Guests who have tried both often order them together: one crisp, saucy plate to share and one hot dog to hold.
order online for pickup, call (403) 717-9377, or stop in at 2323 32 Ave NE #114B - minutes from Mayland Heights, Vista Heights, Franklin and Marlborough. It is one of the fastest lunches in northeast Calgary. Add Japanese Ramen to your order, or make it a full meal with Ebiyaki (Shrimp Takoyaki).

"A great spot for japanese street food! We had the classic takoyaki and beef japadog. Both very flavourful and piping hot. Probably one of the only places in Calgary that serves takoyaki fresh off the griddle and not from frozen packs."

"The service was good. The atmosphere was clean. The takoyakis were okay - could be better as they could have bigger toppings. But overall, good."
