How do Japanese chefs do what they do when you go to a Japanese Steakhouse?

Went to a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook right in front of you (hibachi I think). The chef was able to do an awesome presentation while cooking a very nice meal, (fire, tapping out a rythm, catching lemon slices in the air with a meat fork, etc...) Where and how can I learn to do that relatively safely?How do Japanese chefs do what they do when you go to a Japanese Steakhouse?
Before one can be named a master chef at Benihana, he must have trained as an apprentice for several years, studying key elements of teppanyaki preparation, presentation and quality checks, as well as how Benihana restaurants operate.



During the course of a teppanyaki meal at Benihana, guests will spend quite a bit of time with their chef. Each of our chef's level of showmanship and knowledge of Japanese dining, combined with delicious food, continue to create a fun dining experience for all patrons.How do Japanese chefs do what they do when you go to a Japanese Steakhouse?
I have no idea, but when you do, please invite me to dinner. I love going to a Japanese Steakhouse. Their presentations are so fun, and the food is so good!
you need the right equipment because that makes it a lot easier.....the japs do a lot of training behind closed doors before they do it in public.....but they are perfectionists and this helps them to become the masters that they are in the kitchen...so as a chef....besxt plan is as i have told all of my own new students take it slow make it perfect and speed will come naturallyHow do Japanese chefs do what they do when you go to a Japanese Steakhouse?

The Benihana in Newport Beach, CA doesn't even have Japanese cooks!!! Very upsetting. And, the ones that they do have can't even do the tricks!! Maybe they have the inexperienced chefs at lunch time...How do Japanese chefs do what they do when you go to a Japanese Steakhouse?
They learn it, and practice their skills.

When I was living in Japan(as a student) I went to a multitude of different places to enjoy meals. the one thing that I found that really made a difference was that the people who really enjoyed what they did were really quite good at it--it came easy because they were having fun and they were quite happy when their guests showed awe, voiced satisfaction at their skill.
Teppanyaki? You need to be an apprentice to a master chef, otherwise you might get one of your fingers mix in with the cooked food!
Practice makes perfect as my mom always said...
It is not hibachi. It is called Teppan-yaki. Teppan is iron plate, yaki means fry or grill.



I think you have to join the restaurant, means become cook.

or else practice with sticks.
