Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I have found that several of the Japanese Steakhouses in the Chicago area will not share recipes.

The one I want most is for the Golden Sauce used on the Golden Shrimp. Or the brown dipping sauce they have for shrimp on the side at Kampai.

So far, I've had no luck. I'm definately going to try this one though. Thanks!

Dh will be so pleased that I found this. Our Benihana’s went out of business and I know he loves this dressing.

MMMMmmm, I LOVE that dressing (and it's been years since I've been close enough to Benihanna, so yaaaeee for the recipe!).

My favorite is very simple:

1/4 cup of EVOO
2 Tbls of Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbls of sugar
generous shakes of seasoned pepper & garlic salt
8-10 drops of hot sauce

Shake vigorously and serve!!

I love the hibachi steakhouses! That’s where we go when we want to “treat” ourselves to a dinner out. The one we go to has that dressing and another one called “creamy ginger.” We love the latter! I’ve made it before but it’s always great to have the original )

I love this dressing too. Has anyone tried freezing it? Maybe do it in icecube trays so you can have a small amount to defrost and use.

Thanks for posting this, Jenn. My husband LOVES that dressing and I know he'll appreciate it if I make a batch.

I have a fantastic salad dressing that we love, and since you have some yummy fresh maple syrup you might enjoy this:

Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette

Mix equal portions of maple syrup, extra-virgin olive (or your favorite) oil and balsamic vinegar (buy the cheap stuff for this).

It's good on any salad, but my favorite is a mix of greens with tomato, chopped apple or pear, a handful of raisins or dried cranberries and a light shaving of blue cheese. Blue cheese can be pricey, but if you freeze your wedge and finely grate (while frozen) over your salad, you actually use very little; the cheese can go back into the freezer and be used again and again.
