Frankfurter (Sausage on a Stick)

フランクフルト

A big, honest sausage on a stick. No frills, no batter, no nonsense.

A thick, juicy pork sausage served on a stick, grilled or heated until the skin has a satisfying snap. No batter, no breading — just pure, straightforward sausage. The kind of food that pairs perfectly with standing outside a konbini at midnight.

The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

In Japan, sausage naming is serious business: under 20mm diameter is a 'Wiener,' 20–36mm is a 'Frankfurter,' and over 36mm is a 'Bologna.' The konbini version proudly sits in the middle category — thick, substantial, and unmistakably a frank. They come with a snap-apart condiment pack: one side ketchup, one side mustard. Fold it in half to dispense both at once.

How to eat

  • 1The skin is designed to snap when you bite through it. Commit to the bite — hesitating just squishes the sausage and makes a mess.
