KYOTO TWIST DOGS Menu

SUMMER VEGETABLE DOG

A vegetable-forward summer hot dog featuring golden, crispy corn fritters as a standout element. Generously filled with Kamo eggplant—a premium Kyoto vegetable—this dish highlights the natural freshness and seasonal essence of local produce. Topped with a house-made wakame avocado relish made with avocado, cilantro, and lime, it delivers a refreshing and satisfying bite with every mouthful. This innovative 'veggie dog' is perfect for vegetarians and all diners seeking a light yet flavorful summer treat.

WAGYU CHILI CHEESE DOG

A rich and indulgent creation featuring juicy Omi wagyu beef chili sauce layered with thick melted cheese, creating a deeply savory flavor profile. The bright, tangy heat of jalapeños adds a refreshing kick, enhancing the crave-worthy taste. The subtle bitterness of manganji peppers—seasonal to Kyoto summers—adds complexity and depth, making this dish a bold and satisfying choice even on the hottest days.

KYOTO YUZU SAUSAGE DOG

A premium classic featuring yuzu sausage from LINDENBAUM, a renowned charcuterie specialist based in Kyoto. Grilled over charcoal to perfection, the sausage boasts a crisp, snappy casing and rich, juicy interior, while the aromatic yuzu zest infuses the dish with a refined, citrusy fragrance. Paired with tangy sauerkraut that adds depth and contrast, this dish elevates the natural umami of the sausage to new heights.
