Answer 4

Teppanyaki is Japanese (teppan is hotplate) but far more well known & prevalent outside Japan, especially in USA where the Benihana chain of restaurants started by Rocky Aoki is believed to have invented the style of teppanyaki cooking. Therefore, the Japanese themselves see teppanyaki as a novelty.
