Japanese Style Korean BBQ
In Japan, Korean BBQ is called yakiniku.  The meat is flavored for Japanese tastes, but the experience is pretty much the same:  large platters of beef or pork grilled at the table.  But I think things are changing.  I just caught the end of a program that showed one Japanese restaurant serving individual portions of meat.  Usually, at a Korean restaurant, you order a platter of a specific cut or part (marinated/unmarinated steak, ribs, tribe, etc.).  So, unless you're with a large group, you only order one or two platters.  But in Japan, people wanted to be able to order a piece at a time, like at a sushi restaurant, so they could eat a variety of meat.  I've often wished that myself!  This is such a great idea and hope Korean BBQ restaurants here in the US follow suit.
