Joyce, I asked and they say it is steamed. Regardless, steamed or boiled and then grilled >= steamed only.

My coworker was mentioning this to me today that DougieDog has its own Japadog, and here I am reading this. Interesting post! Judging by the look of it, I’m not sure I like DougieDog’s sausage – maybe it’s the boiling…

Raidar, it might be due to the fact they add more sauce, which, in a way, works as well.

Kate, in the end, it boils down to taste. Next time you are in Downtown, you might want to give it a try!

Holly, it is a men’s thing, OK?

Sherman, while I have done comparisons previously, let’s just say Mijune’s poutine thread has been also some inspiration, hehehehe.

shokutsu, yes, at the end of the day, sometimes I also want the basic dog.

Nice, thanks for doing that comparison, but me thinks I’ll stick to the original version.

The Tokyo Dog does look indeed better. You are right, the Terimayo does look smaller! WTH? Kudos to you for dedication to your craft. A comparison which involves quite a bit of effort. Now for the McD’s monster sandwich…

You and your grill marks! So you executed your hot dog contest. Well done.

I think visually, the Tokyo dog looks prettier and since the weiner is a bit bigger than Japadogs, it’s worth the price difference.

I will certainly give this a try the next time I visit downtown for the olympics.

I agree with Raidar. The Tokyo dog looks better.

Fantastic comparison Kim. Nice work on rushing around. Gotta say, the first one has a better ‘visual’ aspect, as the Japadog version looks a little put-away-wet.
