Teppanyaki has always been associated with words such as "advanced", "elegant" and "business". In Japan, the most expensive food is teppanyaki instead of raw fish. Teppanyaki was invented by the Spanish in 15 and 16 centuries. At that time, due to the developed shipping in Spain, it often traveled around the world. Because the crew live with the sea all day, life at sea is very boring, so we have to make fun of the fish all day, and then roast the fish until it is fragrant and cooked. This cooking method was later spread by the Spanish to Mexico and California in the American continent. It was not until the early 20th century that a Japanese-American introduced this cooking technique of teppanyaki to the Japanese royal family. Since then, the fancy teppanyaki of the reformist school has been formed, and it has the status of "aristocratic diet". Until today, it is still considered as the highest level of Japanese cuisine.

Secret 1: Japanese teppanyaki

Teppanyaki is very popular in Japan, and the Japanese call it Shaoshao. There is also a Japanese barbecue called "Osaka-style iron plate", which means "Okonomiyaki" in Japanese. Japanese teppanyaki is different from Korean barbecue, which pays attention to performance and ingredients, and is also called fancy teppanyaki. In front of each guest, there is a personal food container and seafood and meat dip. After the food is baked, the chef will divide the food into each guest's tableware.

Secret 2: French Teppanyaki

Teppanyaki was first invented by the French. Slow food is in line with the French eating attitude with the theme of "pleasure". Therefore, French teppanyaki inherits the essence of French cuisine: paying attention to sauce and wine. From the beginning, after each dish is cooked, the chef will set the plate first and then serve it to the guests. Sauce is seasoned during baking, so French teppanyaki doesn't need dipping sauce. Each dish will also have a sommelier to choose wine according to the ingredients.

Tip 3: Go to hotels and fancy restaurants to taste teppanyaki.

Teppanyaki has always been different from folk barbecue. In order to fit the "stainless steel plate", the design of dining environment tends to be silver gray and cool-the use of silver metal and gorgeous high-back sofa is full of post-modern steel and luxury. Because of the special cooking environment of teppanyaki, private room is the best place to enjoy teppanyaki, which also makes "iron plate" the best "negotiation" table for business partners. After eating delicious food and watching the performance, you can also go outside the private room, have a look at the beautiful night scene outside the window, have a few glasses of good wine after dinner and continue the negotiation. These unique characteristics of teppanyaki also make the advanced teppanyaki restaurant in an expensive position and first-class real estate. Among the first-tier cities in China, five-star hotels are the first to launch "Teppanyaki". Therefore, if you want to experience authentic teppanyaki with good quality and quantity, you still have to go to a five-star hotel or a high-end restaurant with a lot of money.
