A combination of "Teppan" means "iron plate" and "Yaki" means "toasted, fried, fried" in Japanese, "Teppanyaki" is a method of processing food in Japanese cuisine by baking. sauté on a thick metal plate, usually of cast iron or steel, of high heat resistance.
In ancient times, Japanese people often used the method of direct fire of cooked food for a very long time. Until modern times, people began to grill food with metal grills. This is said to be the origin of the Teppanyaki cuisine. In the early Showa period, because metals such as iron were precious, Japan hardly used Teppan for food processing. Entering the post-war period, iron plate cooking was more common when it was frequently seen in mobile stalls or in the black market. People make use of discarded metal plates from planes or cars to cook food and sell it to customers. The ingredients are not fussy and easy to make, so Teppanyaki quickly developed widely and has become the quintessence when it comes to Japanese cuisine.
