Dosanko Restaurant is a unique dining experience based in Vancouver, rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Hokkaido, Japan. The restaurant was born from a love story and a single dish: nikujaga, a beloved Japanese stew. Akiyo Tani and chef Nathan Lowey combined their backgrounds to create a menu that honors both their heritages. With a focus on home-style and seasonally inspired yōshoku, Dosanko serves dishes that are not only authentic but also accessible to West Coast palates.
Our kitchen emphasizes fresh, housemade ingredients and a mottainai or 'no waste' philosophy, using organic and locally sourced foods whenever possible. With a cozy 45-seat dining room located in Vancouver's historic Japantown, Dosanko provides a welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. We invite you to savor our carefully crafted meals, prepared with passion and dedication, as we aim to introduce a new category of Japanese cuisine to the vibrant culinary scene in Vancouver.
