The waiter helps a group of guests understand various Japanese dishes on the menu such as sushi (rice and seaweed wrapped seafood), teppanyaki (grilled beef), shabu shabu (fondue-style cooking meat in broth), sashimi (thin slices of raw fish), sukiyaki (quick fried beef and vegetables dipped in raw egg), and tempura (seafood or vegetables lightly battered and deep fried to remain tender). The guests learn about the ingredients and cooking methods of these dishes to help decide what to order.
