Hibachi Cooking: A Very Brief History

Also known as Teppanyaki, hibachi style cooking involves a traditional heating platform that may be round or square shaped. A typical restaurant hibachi is much larger than the small braziers of the same name that are sold at many American hardware stores. At a restaurant, customers often sit around the hibachi grill. Most sources agree that the first teppanyaki grill originated during the Heian Period which prevailed in Japan from the first to 12th centuries. Made of cypress wood and lined with fired clay, ancient teppanyaki chefs may have prepared many of the same foods that are enjoyed at restaurants that serve hibachi in Tallahassee today.

According to Culinary Lore magazine, the word hibachi derives from the Japanese words for fire and bowl. The first hibachi grills held charcoal and were small enough to carry throughout a home where it could be used to provide heat in the wintertime. Hibachi was also used to smoke tobacco or opium, but are not used that way in restaurants today.

Modern hibachi in Tallahassee typically utilizes a gas-fired hot surface up which a chef may perform an elaborate show for guests while grilling meats, fish, veggies and other delicious ingredients.

Japanica Steakhouse is pleased to present many flavorful hibachi dishes and combos for your consideration.
