About Genji

Genji, a subsidiary of Hana Group’s Peace Dining Corporation, is the largest sushi provider to the Whole Foods Market chain. It started out as a standalone sushi restaurant in Philadelphia until Whole Foods Market, impressed by the freshness of Genji’s ingredients and the craftsmanship of its sushi chefs, asked the owners to operate a few sushi bars inside Whole Foods stores. Today, Genji operates more than 250 sushi bars, staffed by rigorously-trained chefs, in addition to Japanese cuisine restaurants in the U.S. and the U.K. Even as Genji continues to grow and evolve, it remains true to the values established by its founders: uncompromising quality, freshness, authenticity and customer appreciation.
