Teppanyaki, is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. It focuses not just on the food itself, but also the showmanship and the skills of the chefs. This style of cooking went back all the way to the 1940s Japan when a Japanese chain restaurant Misono wanted to introduce western-influenced food such as steak to the Japanese food scene. They soon found the cuisine was less popular with the Japanese than it was with foreigners, who enjoyed both watching the skilled maneuvers of the chefs preparing the food as well as the cuisine itself.
Back in the 90s, only a small number of teppanyaki restaurants can be found in Jakarta, and in them you can only find Japanese teppanyaki chefs showing off their skills. But now you can find the signature griddles everywhere, even in food courts where a more affordable and instant type of teppanyaki can be found. In this list, you can find some of the best and even legendary teppanyaki tables in Jakarta:
