EF? oy the do-it-yourself fun
of Shabusen, but worry

that your friends with dietary
restrictions like vegetarianism or
a gluten allergy wouldn't be able
to join you? For those of you out
there looking to accommodate
friends or family that need a
little more, there’s Gyu-Kaku!

There’s nothing particularly
unique or stand-out about the
atmosphere of either location.
Both feature relatively standard
Japanese restaurant décor—
dark paneling, and an open
look into the kitchen through
service windows. The main draw
here is definitely the food.

The staff is friendly, and
more than willing to explain the
cooking process to newcomers,
which is good, especially when
it comes to grilling the meat.
Everything is pre-measured and
cut so that cooking it is as easy
as possible. The restaurant even
provides a choice of sauces to
add a little flavour during the

grilling process. Featuring a
menu that runs the gamut of
pork, beef, chicken, and seafood,
it’s obvious that their goal is to
appease as many appetites as
possible. And for my vegetarian
friends, don’t worry, Gyu-Kaku
also features an incredible array
of grillable vegetarian options, e
from mushrooms to eggplants,
so no need to feel left out!

Worried that you might
exhaust your appetite for Asian
BBQ? Well, don’t be. Even if the
idea of course after delicious
course of DIY isn’t to your liking,
Gyu-Kaku also features a full
kitchen menu that you can order
off of, including my personal
favourite, cheese wontons!

All of that is good, but by
far my favourite thing about

: GASTROPUB & BAR

this restaurant is that they
have pre-constructed meals
to cater to groups of two or
more. These meals come with
a little something for everyone,
so there’s no unnecessary
arguing about what and how
many to get. That makes these
meals the perfect solution
for the indecisive, like me.
Located right in downtown

 

Vancouver at 888 Nelson Street,
and also at 201 West Broadway,
this BBQ place is always packed,
so reservations are a must.

Both locations feature minimal
seating, instead favoring large
tables to accommodate the
massive grill. Despite the table
size, the seating itself is not
communal, so space is limited.

Create haiku (3-line poetry), and use letterpress and
stamp printing to create artworks that celebrate the
vegetables and flowers of significance for Japanese
Canadians. Many of these plants were grown in family
gardens in pre-war days, and in small gardens that
families created outside of their makeshift shacks in
the camps when Japanese Canadians were incarcerated
during World War Il. These plants were also grown on
larger plots of land established in the camps.

If you have stories of Japanese vegetables and flowers
from your own experiences and families, please bring
them to share. We are collecting stories as well as the
artwork created in these workshops to share online.

This is the second workshop in a series that is produced
in collaboration with WePress Community Art Space
and Powell Street Festival Society and funded by Metro
Vancouver.
