Teppanyaki
On October 13, I went Columbus again to go shopping in Tanger Outlet as an event held by international student services. After the shopping trip, we also went to Asahi Japanese Steakhouse.
"Teppanyaki" was first introduced to the United States after World War Ⅱ, and is popular overseas as Japanese cuisine now. At first, it was not popular, but the restaurants became more popular because they started to provide excellent performance, such as stacking onion slices to produce a flaming onion volcano.
I cannot explain the performance verbally, so please check this movie out!

However, Steakhouse in Japan, actually, do not do such performance so that I was very surprised. The restaurant we went was totally Americanized "Japanese" restaurant. However, I enjoyed my new experience in America :)
