TOKYO
A Japanese sushi chef who served Kim Jong-Il claims North Koreas current leader has no intention of waging war with the United States.
The chef, who goes by the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto, told a Japanese tabloid magazine he was invited to Pyongyang last month for the first time in almost four years, and that Kim Jong-Un himself picked him up at the airport.
I was surprised when I looked at the drivers seat, Fujimoto was quoted as saying in a piece written under his byline in the weekly Shukan Gendai. Field marshall Kim Jong-Un himself was driving, hed come to check up on me.
Fujimoto, one of the few non-Koreans to have met the young leader, said that he arrived in Pyongyang on April 12 to have dinner with Kim, who greeted him with a hug and asked about feelings in Japan toward the secretive state.
Fujimoto, who is said to carry business cards emblazoned with the words Kim Jong-Ils chef, reportedly replied: With blunt honesty: its terrible. Since the start of the year there have been nuclear and missile tests.

If you can't trust a sushi chef who spent a couple weeks in NK that one time, then who can you trust?
