Tepanyaki, when translated into Chinese, then back to English, means "Steel Plate Roast/Fry/Burn" It's that one you're always seeing on TV, where the chef moves his knife at blazing speeds, chopping up everything, tossing the salt/pepper shakers around, etc. all on the hot plate. Except IRL it's not THAT spectacular. The food itself is not bad though.
Unagi Kabayaki(Grilled Eel) is usually served in a sweetish soy sauce type mixture. I think the saltiness is part of the preservative or the eel itself. You could always run a little miso soup over the eel in your bowl, washing the sauce/salt into your rice. That should cut down the saltiness(the rice is bland, compared to everything else, anyway. :P)
