What are you talking about?
Kabayaki [0] has been around for centuries in Japan, and the only thing modern about 'teriyaki' made in Seattle was a likely mispronunciation of the phrases tori and yaki as grilled chicken and is the wide use of a cheap imitation of a tare (with a loose watery sauce) to use over animal/plant protein.
The use of Shoyu, Mirin, Sake as the trifecta of Japanese gastronomy is likely centuries older than that and likely pre-dates the inception of the US by several centuries.
