Love your sense of humor while you educate us about Japanese history and culture. I also love a good ribeye, but I'm sure mine won't look anything like yours! It is a shame that some dishes get a mediocre reputation by being poorly executed in fast dining. I will say that one of the best versions of teriyaki beef I ever had was in a Hawaiian plate lunch place. It was thinly shaved and marinated for 3 days, then flash grilled on a flat top. The restaurant would always run out of it, so you had to go early if you wanted to order some.
