Kim's ex-sushi chef 'invited back to N. Korea'

A Japanese sushi chef who served the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il and his family for 13 years, writing books about their secretive lives, was seen on his way to revisit the country on Friday.

The author, who goes by the pseudonym of Kenji Fujimoto, told Japanese media at Tokyo's Narita airport that he had been invited to visit North Korea by its new leader Kim Jong-Un, whom he had served when the Korean leader was a boy.

"I was invited by Marshal Kim Jong-Un himself, and there is no reason to say no," he was quoted by Kyodo news agency as saying as he headed to Pyongyang via Beijing.

"I have never bad-mouthed (North Korea), and I don't think it will work against me," Fujimoto said when asked about comments he had made on North Korea.

We may never hear from this guy again - we’ll hear a story about him mistakenly eating a side of Pufferfish with young son.

If that happens, the answer to the message he might carry would be resounding “NO.”:-)

I hope he doesn’t mind sharing a serving bowl with a bunch of Kim Chee.

Yeah, Kenji got all excited to receive an invitation to dinner with Kim Jong Un, he had no idea he was going to be the main course, ‘Kenji Bul-Go-Gi’.

“Will you walk into my parlor?” said the Spider to the Fly,
“’Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show you when you are there.”
“Oh no, no,” said the Fly, “to ask me is in vain;
For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”

I am reminded of the Wild, Wild West episode, The Night of the Big Blackmail, when the Secret Service agents sneak into the embassy only to be confronted by...

9:00 to about 10:20. Also noteworthy in that Harvey Korman (of Mel Brooks comedy fame, as ‘Hedley Lamarr’), plays one of the villains.
