Is there contrastive reduplication in Japanese?


Japanese has lots of reduplication and some say it is a trademark of Japanese.
It occurs in all kinds of parts of speech, which in English it does not. It is
used for some plural, intensity, and more complicated stuff.  
But [one particular
usage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrastive_focus_reduplication) exists
in English and some other languages, which uses reduplication to "emphasize"
that a (citing wikipedia) prototypical usage of the word is intended: To make
the true meaning of a used word clear after most likely a misunderstanding
happened.

> I didn't eat _egg salad_ , I ate _**salad salad**_.

"Contrastive" is related to both intonation of the first word, but also to
express that "salad salad" is in contrast to all other kinds of salad.

But is there such a usage of reduplication in Japanese? I could not find one.

UPDATE: This question has received multiple valuable answers that each
contribute some different aspect to answer the question. All answers answer
the question. Therefore, I will not pick a "most helpful" answer myself.

A similar pattern does exist. Here are some examples I found on the internet:

>   * 机をあまり **仕事仕事した** 空間にしたくなくて…  
>  I didn't want to make my desk look like a typical office-ish place...
>   * **学校学校している** カチッとしたところだと、ついていけるか不安でした。  
>  I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up at an ordinary strict
> school.
>   * もっと **筋肉筋肉した** 人が、ミューズの理想なのだ。  
>  Muse's ideal is a stereotypical macho / muscular muscular guy.
>   * すっぱいドレッシングとか **サラダサラダしたもの** が苦手な私  
>  I'm not good at things like sour dressing and typical (green) salad.
>   * **スマホスマホしたスマホ** が欲しいなら…  
>  If you want a smartphone smartphone...
>

Note that:

  * This pattern always requires [している/した](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/74972/5010), but you can use サラダサラダしたサラダ or サラダサラダしたもの to say _salad salad_ as a noun.
  * This pattern does not work with verbs. I can't think of an equivalent of "Do you like-like him?"
  * This pattern does not necessarily have to work contrastively. If I understand correctly, an expression like _salad salad_ normally works in English when it's clearly contrasted with some atypical salad (hence the name contrastive reduplication), but NNしたN can work on its own.

Also note that this is a fairly rare pattern. Whenever I encounter this
pattern (say, once in every three years), I recall a certain episode of
[_Nichijou_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichijou), which goes like this:

> **A** : このコーヒー、あんまりコーヒーコーヒーしてない。 Oh, this coffee isn't being very coffee
> coffee.  
>  **B** : え、コーヒーコーヒーしてない？ 何いってんの？ Not coffee coffee? What are you talking
> about?  
>  **A** : 自分でもよくわかんないんだけど、なんていうか、コーヒーコーヒーしてないんだよ。いいからちょっと飲んでみ、ほれほれ。 I don't
> really understand what I'm saying, but well, it's "not coffee coffee"! Just
> try it yourself, here you go.  
>  **B** : まったく、コーヒーコーヒーしてないってなんなのよ… (drinking) あ……コーヒーコーヒーしてない。 Come on, what
> the heck is not being coffee coffee! (drinking) Oh...this isn't coffee
> coffee.

The fact that this perfectly works as comedy to native Japanese speakers means
コーヒーコーヒーしてない lies on the narrow borderline between "funny but understandable"
and "almost incomprehensible".

There are a number of fixed expressions like 黒々とした, 寒々とした or みずみずしい, but these
are words with their own meanings (they do not mean "prototypical
black/coldness/water") and can be explained as ordinary examples of Japanese
reduplicated words and phrases.
