What do you get when you cross traditional Japanese flavors with the beloved comfort food that is the hot dog? An ingenious invention that you'll want to eat again and again, that's what. Japadog began in 2005 when an ambitious couple moved from Japan to Vancouver in the hopes of opening a famous food stand -- and they did. Today, they have five locations in Vancouver and two locations in California, each serving a delicious variety of their unique hot dogs. The winner of the dog show, though, is definitely their signature Terimayo hot dog, which features Teriyaki sauce, mayo and seaweed. You can pick it up at any of their locations.

Did you know that Vancouver is among Canada's most ethnically diverse cities? Particularly, this dynamic metropolis is home to an impressive population of Hong Kong Chinese and one of the largest Chinatowns in all of North America. Naturally you'll find plenty of must-try Asian cuisine all over the downtown area. Check out our favorite places to explore the flavors of Asia in Vancouver here.
