He started in the world of yakiniku (grilled meat) through a meeting with a friend
Chef Fujimoto, from Yokohama City, is a long serving veteran-this year is his 37th. He found employment in the yakiniku business partially through the invitation of a friend. He has devoted himself to this business ever since. Although he temporarily left Yakiniku Restaurant Konandai Kannaien, this year will mark about 13 years since his return. With yakiniku, it is hard to choose ingredients because the taste of the ingredients directly comes through. Also, everyone has different preferences, so it is extremely difficult to flavor things that suit everyone. Successfully facing this difficulty, he is building a thriving restaurant.
