From Cooking Show as Japan Talent to BBQ StartUp in Rural SAGA | Bobby Judo

Bobby Judo is originally from Florida, but has lived and worked in Japan for many years starting as a JET ALT language teacher in SAGA, and has reinvented himself throughout a long career in Japan as a TV presenter.

Bobby talks here about some of the recent work he has done and how it is taking him to a new level in his career becoming a business owner in Saga and the crowdfunding campaign that is helping to get a BBQ business and accommodation project off the ground.

Bobby Judo is a long-time TV-Radio-Podcast Personality in Japan who is taking his life and career to a new level by starting a business in rural Japan. Here he talks about crowdfunding, spices, BBQ, rural revival, NHK TV shows, and the appeal of moving with his family to the rural countryside.
