* \\\"Japanese\\\" steakhouses is actually largely founded by a chain, Benihana. The idea is actually closer to \\\'\\\'golgi\\\'\\\', or Korean style meat. For that matter, sushi is not the indigenous product, of Japan, having come first through [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi#History Southeast Asia]] (the anime HunterXHunter even points this out, as during a cooking challenge, virtually \\\'\\\'nobody\\\'\\\' there knows how to make sushi). That Americans are able to make this mistake says a great deal, as does the rise of \\\"Asian fusion\\\" restaurants.

I\\\'m not a chef, but isn\\\'t Benihani an example of teppanyaki food? I would imagine that it\\\'s not particularly authentic, but every culture adapts foreign cuisine to their local taste. That\\\'s not an example of the trope. And originating elsewhere doesn\\\'t mean that sushi isn\\\'t Japanese. Hot dogs weren\\\'t invented in America, but they\\\'re classic American food. That\\\'s not an example of the trope either.
