There are no such thing as Kosher Food, contrary to popular misconception, rabbis or other religious officials do not "bless" food to make it kosher. There are blessings that observant Jews recite over food before eating it, but these blessings have nothing to do with making the food kosher.



Food can be kosher without a rabbi or priest ever becoming involved with it: the vegetables from your garden are undoubtedly kosher (as long as they don't have any bugs, which are not kosher!). However, in our modern world of processed foods, it is difficult to know what ingredients are in your food and how they were processed, so it is helpful to have a rabbi examine the food and its processing and assure kosher consumers that the food is kosher.



There are few I mean extremely few ethnic restaurant in US meet that requirment, most of those are in strong Jewish Communty. In some occation you can talk to the resturant owner to see if it is okey to a a rabbis stop by to check it out in advance. Even thought I do not recomand this for any Japanese Restaurant, it might seem disrespectful to themIs japanese hibachi food kosher?
He might not eat kosher.



You should ask him how strict his diet is.



Most restaurants are not kosher. Like 99.9% of them.



Kosher is in the preparation of the food, for instance. The products used and such.Is japanese hibachi food kosher?
Ask him if he keeps to a Kosher diet. Think back to the places he has taken you and what he ate. Kosher has a lot of restrictions including the plates and dinnerware. Better safe than sorry. You can always take him to a great Kosher restaurant if there are any in your area. If you know his family call and ask.Is japanese hibachi food kosher?
I seriously doubt that any restaurant you would want to take him to is kosher.

Besides I doubt he eats only kosher food since from what you say he isn't that religious.
Being a former chef in Canada and having eaten at establishments in Canada and Japan, the best way to find out is call and ask if you can drop by and see the menu, tell them you are bringing people that have food allergies.



Most place serve, chicken, beef, not much if any pork, and some seafood, if he orthordox or conservative he may not eat seafood, mostly they serve shrimp and salmon, that is something to find out.



Sauces would have soya, sugar and sesame oils and the marinate in the same basic ingredients, the best thing to do is find out with they serve, if there is any cross food contact, as the Kosher dietary issues require meat and dairy to be served on different plates, and japanese cuisine does not use much if any butter or cream, dessert is another thing, but if they have a fruit option that will do.



Ask if the dinner is all included as prices may be higher depending on the meat or fish served.
