I had never heard of them before but there is an o-mise here in Seattle that does them (a guy from Kyoto and a woman from Tokyo). It was fun to chat with them and try hot dogs a new way. Stephen had a "matsuri" dog with onions, nori, grated carrots, etc. Mine was "samurai" and it was SO good with daikon, ponzu, wasabi-mayo, and kizami negi. I didn't actually care for the hot dog itself (skin too thick and it was WAY too salty) but the toppings were great.Abigail (aka Mamatouille)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09375687869909244442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-26000566261167722282011-04-04T03:42:05.746+09:002011-04-04T03:42:05.746+09:00OMG your lunch AND dinner look great!OMG your lunch AND dinner look great!jalnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136981767715115943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-19579159381800146682011-04-04T00:24:17.627+09:002011-04-04T00:24:17.627+09:00I personally need a lot of me time..
