“We were heading in similar directions,” said Sasaki. “I wanted to open a restaurant in town but after COVID, I changed my mind. Kawakubo wanted to start a food truck but didn’t know where to start, so we said ‘OK lets make it together, it’ll be the coolest food truck in town’.”
The small menu includes a crispy prawn wrap, a vegan wrap, Shrimp and veggie okonominyaki (savoury cabbage pancakes smothered in toppings), as well as spring roll with sweet and savory options.
The truck is easily recognised by it’s stunning artwork done by local artists Hayley Stewart and Kaz Hayashi. Mt. Begbie is depicted in warm tones sunset tones in a style resembling classic Japanese art.
