A little about...

Teppanyaki ( teppan'yaki?) is a type of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word "teppanyaki" is derived from "teppan" which means iron plate, and "yaki", which means grilled.

The form of teppanyaki most familiar to North Americans consists of steak and other meats, along with vegetable accompaniments. In North America, it is also known by the name of hibachi, and the establishments are often referred to as "Japanese steakhouses."
Typical ingredients used for teppanyaki are beef, shrimp, scallops, lobster, chicken and assorted vegetables. Soybean oil is typically used to cook the ingredients. Side dishes of mung bean sprouts, zucchini, garlic chips or fried rice usually accompany the meal.

The originator of the teppanyaki-style steakhouse is the Japanese restaurant chain Misono, which introduced the concept of cooking Western-influenced food on a teppan in Japan in 1945. They soon found that the cuisine was even more popular with foreigners than with the Japanese, who enjoyed both watching the skilled maneuvers of the chefs preparing the food as well as the cuisine, somewhat more familiar than more traditional Japanese dishes. As the restaurants became more popular tourist spots with non-Japanese, the chain introduced changes increasing the performance aspect of the chef's preparation, such as stacking round slices of onion in the shape of Mt. Fuji and lighting oil contained within on fire, producing a flaming onion volcano.
Japanese steakhouses continue to place an emphasis on the chef performing a show for the diners, continuing to introduce new variations and tricks. The show can include juggling utensils, flipping a shrimp into his shirt pocket, tossing an egg up in the air and splitting it with his knife, and flipping flattened shrimp pieces into the diners' mouths.

The food and experience will stay here for the ages, so stop by ShiChi for a Teppanyaki experience!
