Our Story

Genji began as a popular Japanese restaurant in Philadelphia, named after the title character in “The Tale of Genji,” the first Japanese novel ever written. This little restaurant on Sansom Street was a home-town favorite for many years.

We’ve been in Whole Foods since 1997

Whole Foods Market began to open stores in Philadelphia in 1997, and while looking for the best authentic sushi establishment, they discovered Genji. We welcomed the opportunity to work with Whole Foods, and quickly found that Whole Foods’ customers appreciated our founding values of quality, freshness, authenticity, and customer service.
