The chef, who goes under the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto, was invited to Pyongyang by Kim Jong-un. He met the North Korean leader and his wife, and gave them a gift of blue fin tuna from Japan, where he lives.

Fujimoto was Kim Jong-il's personal chef from 1989 to 2001 and published several books about his experiences after fleeing the Stalinist country.
