The most popular of the dogs at Japadog would be the Kurobuta Terimayo. Kurobuta or Berkshire as Americans know it is the prized black pig. Similar to that Kobe Beef, Kurobuta is the best of the pig breeds. At $7.25, this better be a dang good dog. That is $7.25 with no drinks or chips, just the dog.
The Kurobuta Terimayo comes with Kurobuta hot dog, nori (seaweed) strips, and a teriyaki mayonnaise. We added a bit of the Wasabi mayo for a nicely added heat to the dog. The actual hot dog itself was juicy, flavorful and had a nice snap to it. I would say it's probably the best hot dog that I have eaten. The terimayo and wasabi mayo complement the hotdog and the nori strips add an extra dimension of flavor. This hot dog was delicious!!!
There was quite a bit of hype about the Japadog. Some saying it's just a hot dog and not worth the trip and some saying that it is all that and then some. I have to say that the hype is warranted. Although the hot dog is pricey for a hot dog, I would say it is definitely worth the trip to try it out.

At first I was a little skeptical thinking, what's so special about these Japanese hot dogs? They can't be all that different from any other hot dog that we have had. Overhyped?? Wrong....
This little Japadog happened to be right on the corner of the hotel we were staying at, so it made it all the more convenient to sample these dogs. Fortunately for us, it was raining that day and as a result, this shortened the supposedly long lines considerably.

how cool! - what a wonderful post - totally new for me as i've never heard of this "hotdog" but now i'll be on the look out for it! not much of a hotdog person but completely happy to try something new! good to see you!
Black pig hotdog sounds good.
myminimocs - Thanks! Yes, definitely do give it a try if you get the chance. Thanks for the comment!
Lady G - Sounds good and was good. Wasn't anymore tender as hotdogs are already pretty easy to eat, just juicier and more flavor.
Saw this blog and thought of you. Happened to stumble upon it randomly.

Wow, thanks for directing me to this blog, looks like a good one.
Lady G - No problem. It isn't as good as your though, of course.
Awww, thank you for saying that. Mine is still new, I wouldn't dare say it is as good as either of yours but I'm working on it. :)
Lady G - No need to be modest. You blog is really very good and you are very consistent about your posts too. Always a good thing for your readers.
