Japan BBQ Shogun is only one Japanese BBQ team in Japan in 2017. Japan BBQ Shogun is organized by Japan BBQ Association members. Japan BBQ Association is promoting real BBQ culture to Japanese in Japan. In Japan, there is not real BBQ culture and almost Japanese don't know how to grill row and slow, and they doesn't have any smokers because Japanese grilles very thin meat just like Korean BBQ. So,our Japan BBQ Association is working for promoting real BBQ culture to Japanese in Japan. We are teaching how to BBQ and how to use Weber grill to Japanese in Japan. And we are also learning about BBQ by visiting to America and Australia and competing BBQ contests. Real BBQ people is getting more and more little by little. So in the future, we would like to hold BBQ contest in Japan.
