Oh so THAT'S what the sauce was! I would have never guessed it was teriyaki. It looked absolutely delicious! Also, the owner almost seems like a Japanese Keanu Reeves. Which is the highest of compliments! Just a really cool and chill guy.
Ok artisan home made hot dogs are just on another level. The sausages alone seem to be on another level. I don t like hot dog that much but when i am in the area i will try it. The passion of japanese artisans just makes me smile everytime.
I wanted to watch your food vids so I typed your name and all the K1 stuffs came out. I wish youtube algo would push your latest works on the top when we type your name cuz your new videos are so good aswell. It is smth more relatable to regular folks dofferent from the niche genre before. You the best 👍
Great video, as always! Thank you for posting the location. If I'm lucky enough to come to Japan in the next year, then this is definitely going to be a lunch target my first few days in country. It looks mouth watering good!!!
Thank you Nick for this great video. I really like the conversation between Iida-san and yourself. He seems to be a very great craftsman who takes a lot of pride in making the best food he can. Thats one of the things I really love about Japan. Myself, when I am in Japan every 2 years, I eat only japanese food, because there is so much wonderful japanese food (which I can mostly not get where I live in Switzerland), and I dont want to eat hot dogs, burgers, pasta, pizza or other things like that. But I totally appreciate that japanese people or gaijin persons like to enjoy "non japanese" food sometimes.
I'm going to Japan this fall, so I'll definitely hit this place up. Not many places will make their own franks, so this certainly looks interesting. Though the one thing is that two of the iterations look like they're really difficult to eat without a fork and knife, but that's just a minor thing.
Why have I not found your channel earlier. I visited Japan last year. I'm about to binge watch everything so I can plan out my next trip there. Thank you :)
the best part for me is to see that he has sausages that look good enough to just eat as is. Most places use what I cal meat dough shaped like a sausage. They are okay but don't really stand out. this however I would almost fly a round trip for it.
This is another must-visit right here, thanks for the awesome tips.! Oh, as a person living in Malmö, going to Denmark and getting that original rød pølse is always a success.
Definitely going to show this to my friend in Japan so we can come when I visit her! I want to try them all, and I am not even an avocado fan (I just CANNOT do the texture... it messes with me so BAD) but I want to try!
JAPADOG is actually by a Japanese expat guy in Vancouver, BC CA -- the Santa Monica pier location u visited is the only outside of the Vancouver area... and I saw it copied somewhere in Tokyo in late 2019 but in the year I've spent in Tokyo recently I haven't seen it
I need to check this place out when I finally get to visit Japan again. Been a fan of good fancy hotdogs since my sommelier friend took me to a hotdog place ran by an ex executive chef of some super fancy restaurant here in Hawaii.
@@JunkFoodJapan it's amazing. They have stuff with lots of exotic meats like buffalo and gator meat, but my favorite is the hawaiian. It's a Portuguese sausage hotdog with a mango mustard and pineapple relish.
My brother-in-law is visiting Tokyo in August with his girlfriend. I've sent him this video (and a few others of yours) so they can get some quality junk food while they're visiting. Nothing like living vicariously through others. 😂
It is true that there aren't a lot of different types of sausage in Japan that he could use in his hotdogs. So, making his own was probably a great move.
These Hotdogs look delicious! Really good! I have only one worry. As a German I really have a different taste about sausages. Most Japanese sausages are (kind of) sweet. Are these here different? The sausages are looking really nice! Thanks for the video. Greetings from Germany!
I put this on my list of japan ideas to go here. I do love a good hot dog, but don't think I've ever had a "fresh" one. To give him some ideas, there is the West Virginia (WV) slaw dog. It's a chili dog with mustard and coleslaw. I bet he could make a killer coleslaw.
Im fairly certain his shop name was more of Wasei-eigo (decorative english) than actual english with a meaning Honestly, his craft and skill speaks volumes
Looks great but could the bread be slightly wider so it's easier to put the toppings in so they don't fall out as easily? Maybe a local bakery could make them for him.
I call that a sausage on a bun not a hotdog. Which is normally served with a hotdog/wiener the meat has a different meat consistency grind from a sausage. But I’m sure they are taste great.
Really great video, the hotdogs looked amazing and the owner was a great sport for coming on the show. I would say that it was a bit harsh to fast forward him telling everyone about why he was interested and excited about his business. I get it was for comedic effect but it seemed a little unfair.
I might have to make one myself on LIVE Stream... Otherwise I'm not sure anyone will get them right...October comes and I plan to stream once in a while
I completely agree on the japadog comment, here in nyc I had to wait in line for almost an hour and the dogs were overpriced for what you get and a big let down!
So are they hotdogs or sausages?? They look like sausages to me. What’s the texture like? If it’s gritty and chewy, it’s a sausage. If it’s soft and fluffy inside, it’s a hotdog. I wish you would’ve described the texture…
When he said it was originally an Indian word, I'm guessing he meant Native American. Because I'm Indian and I've literally never heard of that word before lol. Funny that some people still call native americans as indians even after finding the real India.
Sorry for your confusion. But people in Japan tend to use the terms "Indian(インディアン)" and "Indo-jin(インド人)" separately to mean each as Native American and Indian people. Nowadays, it's supposed to be inappropriate to use "Indian" to refer to Native Americans, though not many Japanese have contact with Native Americans or Indians, so the old custom doesn't change swiftly.
Those are not hot dogs but look like brats. Hot dogs are not sausages they are two different things! I've been to Japan, not my favorite place, probably seafood made to look like hot dogs.
It depends… recently I have travelled so we are need to film this week and next so I have enough to edit. Normally I need to be at least 4 to 6 weeks out
They looked incrediblely good! It makes a huge difference when a restaurant owner has passion and pride in producing the highest quality food.
"This is my favorite, and I don't like teriyaki" that's a sign of a master right there.
You got that right TOMODACHI !!! and it was amazing
@@JunkFoodJapan then you ate the avocado one 🤣🤣
I sure did!

Mouth watering video, good work man! I may have to send my buddy who lives in Japan there and have him give it a west coast American review.
Look forward to hearing what he says

Thank you 🙏 it’s a strange mix of fighting and food. I guess I am a real food fighter. LoL
@@JunkFoodJapan hahaha yes sir !!
I do love this channel... it seems to get a bit better over time too so it never starts to become too same old
appreciate your feedback, we really love creating good content and hearing you loving it is cool TOMODACHI
Great video, as always! Thank you for posting the location. If I'm lucky enough to come to Japan in the next year, then this is definitely going to be a lunch target my first few days in country. It looks mouth watering good!!!
It’s good. It’s that simple.

Happy binging and welcome to the channel TOMODACHI!
Nic sensei, thank you for introducing us with these great places! Definitely adding this place to the must visit list for when I go to Japan!
I like that, "Skookum Style". Not trying to emulate American or European style dogs. That's awesome.
Seeing our danish hot dog stands on a channel from japan was hilarious!
lovely interaction . waiting for your next video sir 🎉.
Food looks great! ⭐

I love hotdogs so much.... this was a great video to watch ! except I wish I was there eating them!!😍 definitely coming here when I go to Japan!
OK so for someone that is not found of teriyaki, like I am. Just add onion :D that sounds like good advice :D
What a nice guy the owner is! Even though I'm vegetarian, I enjoyed the video.
This is another must-visit right here, thanks for the awesome tips.!
Oh, as a person living in Malmö, going to Denmark and getting that original rød pølse is always a success.
Røde pølser er gode jo! Velkommen her på kanalen VIKING TOMODACHI
Pølse!! ❤ Looking forward to Junk Food Denmark! 🇩🇰
Det gør jeg også TOMODACHI
Ring bell show's up! I see Junk Food Japan... I click! 🙂
Thank you so much TOMODACHI I just reloaded the thumbnail...
These look soooo good. Please tell the chef to come to Canada and open a diner right beside my house 😅
Yabushige opened up a hot dog shop in this universe
you can even see him grunt lmao
Finally Japan has an edible delicious hotdog place wow
Love this video! I also love the homage to “Skookum” being from Washington State (USA)”. I need to add this to my Japan list!
Thank you! Take care!
Thank you too TOMODACHI
@@sarahramos2919 ya, Skookum is definately Washingtonian. That's what brought me here. He must of lived there for a bit
Saved for the next trip to Japan! 🤤
Definitely going to show this to my friend in Japan so we can come when I visit her! I want to try them all, and I am not even an avocado fan (I just CANNOT do the texture... it messes with me so BAD) but I want to try!
Sounds like a challenge. Let me know if and when you complete this side quest!
I am Chilean and we love hot dogs, is part of our culture, loved the video and food looks insane 😊
Really cool 😎 and welcome to the channel TOMODACHI
Drat, this made my mouth water for a good hot dog as seen here, but we have nothing like this kind of hot dog around here. Now I'm hungry.
First time viewer, great channel, really enjoyed it.
And you are welcome over here TOMODACHI feel free to share with friends and family
Hotdogs are my favorite. They're so underrated. We also don't have a ton of hotdog places in my part of the USA. These look amazing!
I agree. It’s such and underrated dish.
JAPADOG is actually by a Japanese expat guy in Vancouver, BC CA -- the Santa Monica pier location u visited is the only outside of the Vancouver area... and I saw it copied somewhere in Tokyo in late 2019 but in the year I've spent in Tokyo recently I haven't seen it
I know about the original one, but the one on the pier was as I said crap.
They opened one in Toronto too.
how are they expanding? LOL
Those looked so yummy I had to get some food, I got hungry just watching!
Mission accomplished
the blue eyed samurai with the hot dog samurai!!
Osu !
Those are some yummy-looking sandwiches.
I need to check this place out when I finally get to visit Japan again. Been a fan of good fancy hotdogs since my sommelier friend took me to a hotdog place ran by an ex executive chef of some super fancy restaurant here in Hawaii.
Oh that sounds good too
@@JunkFoodJapan it's amazing. They have stuff with lots of exotic meats like buffalo and gator meat, but my favorite is the hawaiian. It's a Portuguese sausage hotdog with a mango mustard and pineapple relish.
It’s such a messy hand food. So worth it, though!Including cleaning naps for the hands would be a good idea.
My brother-in-law is visiting Tokyo in August with his girlfriend. I've sent him this video (and a few others of yours) so they can get some quality junk food while they're visiting.

Thank you for sharing with friends and family ! It’s only way we can grow

They are original recipe but he likes himself some spicy chilli and the sausages are good!
Those hotdogs look so good I want to cry I'm in Argentina and we don't have anything close.
Don’t cry for me Argentina… aren’t you guys big on meat there ?
I put this on my list of japan ideas to go here. I do love a good hot dog, but don't think I've ever had a "fresh" one. To give him some ideas, there is the West Virginia (WV) slaw dog. It's a chili dog with mustard and coleslaw. I bet he could make a killer coleslaw.
Now that sounds good
It's similar to Brazilian hot dog 🌭, but with teriyaki 😂
mmm mm mmm
damn, nowni want a ticket to tokyo just for some awesome hot dogs
Damn where is this restaurant in my life!
I generally only like Beef Hotdogs but..............Not gonna lie I want to try these ones!
Those really look more like a bratwurst/sausage than any hot dog I've seen in the wild. Looks delicious either way. Seriously jealous Nic!
They are great
Nic, keep the great videos coming...does the guy have beef dogs or only pork?
Im fairly certain his shop name was more of Wasei-eigo (decorative english) than actual english with a meaning
Honestly, his craft and skill speaks volumes
You got that right!
Im going to this hotdog joint this week!
Say hello to Iida san
@@JunkFoodJapan im here now! I passed the message :)
did you love it?
@@JunkFoodJapan Fantastic!
When i'm out and about hot dogs are my go to!!😋🤤
I love Hot Dogs !
Nick, you are junkfooding like no one))) your videos and attitude are the best))))
I appreciate that TOMODACHI
Thats not junk food..thats delicious food! I’m going to go to that place! Arigatou Sensei! 🥋
Osu TOMODACHI
I would ask for simple diced onions and some mustard on mine please 🙏,
That’s a great choice
Looks great but could the bread be slightly wider so it's easier to put the toppings in so they don't fall out as easily? Maybe a local bakery could make them for him.
I’m pretty sure a local bakery is making them for him. It’s just that he wants them to overflow
I call that a sausage on a bun not a hotdog. Which is normally served with a hotdog/wiener the meat has a different meat consistency grind from a sausage. But I’m sure they are taste great.
damn those looks great, pinned on my google gonna visit this man in November ^^
oishisouuu
Really great video, the hotdogs looked amazing and the owner was a great sport for coming on the show.
I would say that it was a bit harsh to fast forward him telling everyone about why he was interested and excited about his business. I get it was for comedic effect but it seemed a little unfair.
I was hungry… what can I say ? And yes it was just for comedy 🎭
That chef is the first Japanese person I’ve seen with facial hair.
These look so good!
Have you ever seen any Danish food in Japan?
I will try and showcase it here... there is only one place that does it right and I have reached out
Please do, we need a proper flæskesteg sandwich in Tokyo!
I might have to make one myself on LIVE Stream... Otherwise I'm not sure anyone will get them right...October comes and I plan to stream once in a while
Looks amazing and I want them, but that's not a hot dog, but a sausage.
I completely agree on the japadog comment, here in nyc I had to wait in line for almost an hour and the dogs were overpriced for what you get and a big let down!
Yep that sounds right
You made that hotdog look so good and….I’M MUSLIM!
Thank you TOMODACHI I try to do my best on making the good look good
Ida has a great beard!
You got that right. And he rides a cool motorcycle too
@@JunkFoodJapan man of style and taste!
how was the beer?
OMG 😱 it was the best IPA ever. I’m going to try and import it myself lol
@@JunkFoodJapan Save 1 for me when i come back to jp
seriously talking to them about importing to Japan properly
DANMARK! REPRESENT!
RESPEKT MIN VIKING TOMODACHI
🤤
Is a sausge a hot dog or hot dog a sausge?
LOL
So are they hotdogs or sausages?? They look like sausages to me. What’s the texture like? If it’s gritty and chewy, it’s a sausage. If it’s soft and fluffy inside, it’s a hotdog. I wish you would’ve described the texture…
Great girth ! Great texture and delicious for sure. More on the sausage side than a hot dog. But well worth a try
lets get cracking🐕
That's cute, but it doesn't hold a candle to Brazilian hot dogs lol
Mmm mmm mmm
So why did you become a hotdog?
LoL 😂
Well i know where im taking my fish hating husband next trip lol!
LoL 😂

Interesting conversation but trust me when I say there is no malicious intent in his words. He only had respect for word and concept.
@@JunkFoodJapan Oh I didn't take any offense or anything lol. I just got confused for a bit. Great video though.
@@tykep1009 Thanks for the info. Very interesting to know.
These look fantastic...but these look more like sausages as well not actual hot dogs....the grind of the meat isn't fine enough.
Skookum is a bigfoot actually
LOL 😂 wait watch out it’s a Skookum Foot
@@JunkFoodJapan 🤣yes!
Those are not hot dogs but look like brats. Hot dogs are not sausages they are two different things! I've been to Japan, not my favorite place, probably seafood made to look like hot dogs.
It was definitely pork shoulders ground up and mixed with herbs 🌿
Jeezy Pete's, your voice annoyed me so much. That I had to watch the video on mute! But good info on the dogs!
At least you watched it. Thank you TOMODACHI
Bratwurst
Yes that is right !
Nick, how long in advance do you film these videos?
Salutations from Belfast Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
