I know quite a few Korean restaurants (some have both korean and Japanese food) that allow you to do that. Chako in east beaver creek is decent

The bbq your own thing is mostly Korean. Japanese Tappayaki is normally the chef do it in front of you.

The hot pot vege thing is likely sukiyaki. Japanese but not like bbq everything.

As for the bbq, Chako is far from the best. Any Korean on Yonge st would be better.

Japanese religion has a very strong taboo against the eating of four legged creatures. Plus the obvious fact that things like pigs or cows are not really widespread on the islands.

It is pathetic what most of Toronto refers to as "Japanese food"
Chinese posing as Japanese restaurants abound, as do the frozen sushi places and fusion type restaurants

Many modern Japanese have switched to a westernized diet and are not interested in cooking traditional Japanese food. In the GTA I have met several Japanese women who cannot cook and do not want to even learn and yes eat the meat of four legged animals over fish. Sushi and sashimi are only consumed rarely and mostly at festivals or celebrations. Table cooking in real Japanese restaurants in the GTA is rare but common in Korean and Chinese restaurants. Because they are so few Japanese in Toronto, relatively to other Asians, there is no market for Japanese restaurants for Japanese like say the Time Square area for Chinese.

Why don't the OP make a coherent sentence first before we all fall over each other trying to guess and help?

Yes, why doesn't he? He should also learn punctuation. Grade 5 is when we learned to avoid run on sentences.

Maybe in EDO Japan.

Far as I remember Wagyu Beef, Berkshire Pig was EVERYWHERE in my visits to Japan. They have pork from the Cha Su Ramen and broth, to Fried Tonkatsu and beef used in Japanese curry and very prevalent. Japanese beef hamburgers seem to be a staple.

Teppanyaki never really got popular in Japan. Also obviously most "Japanese Restaurants" especially Sushi restaurants in the GTA are operated by Chinese or Koreans but quite alot of traditional Japanese food is actually knock offs of Chinese, Korean and western food. For example Tempura was introduced by Portuguese missionaries, tonkatsu is just derived from a western pork chop and Ramen, Sake and Noodles are of Chinese origin.
Maybe natto is an original Japanese creation. The Japanese are masters at copying and improving.

where can i go to
a japanese restaurant and bbq my food on the table
The Japanese version of Korean BBQ is called yakiniku. There's a couple of places in Toronto if you Google it but the Korean version offers better value and more restaurants to choose from.
