Benihana is a Florida-based American company that owns franchises and Japanese restaurants in various parts of the world, including the Benihana Teppanyaki brand, as well as RA and Haru Sushi restaurants.
When explained in Japanese, Benihana means saffron, which is mainly used as a dietary supplement as well as a cooking oil. However, most people associate this name with the popular Teppanyaki restaurant, which was founded by the famous sportsman and entrepreneur Rocky Aoki.
It is said that his father suggested the name of the restaurant. But there is something interesting about these restaurants – the restaurants in America are known as “Benihana in Tokyo”, while the restaurants in Tokyo are known as “Benihana in New York”, where Rocky started his career.
If you want to treat your taste buds with a delicious Japanese flavor, then Benihana is the place for you. This restaurant can give you an amazing taste of Asian food, something you have never tasted.
