However, Japanese restaurants overseas serve not only Japanese dishes with tradition and history, but also relatively new dishes ranging from teppanyaki (foods grilled on an iron plate), teriyaki (grilling with soy sauce and sugar), curry and rice, pork cutlet on rice and ramen (Chinese soup noodle) to American-style sushi roll like California roll, which were created by mixing various ideas extracted from the foods culture of Japan and others.
しかし日本国外の日本食レストランで提供される料理には、歴史がある伝統的な日本料理ばかりでなく、鉄板焼き、照り焼き、カレーライス、カツ丼、ラーメンから、カリフォルニアロールを始めとするアメリカ式巻物類にいたるまで、比較的近年になって日本以外の食文化と融合して出来た料理も含まれる。
