All About Freshness and Quality

Our Products and Quality Standards

At Genji, we pride ourselves on starting with the highest quality all-natural ingredients to make our superior sushi and Japanese-inspired dishes. Our products are always free of artificial preservatives, coloring, flavor-enhancers, and hydrogenated fats. These high standards are inseparable from our core values, and set us apart from our competitors.

Our roots are firmly-grounded in Japanese cuisine & culture. Some of our items are traditional, such as Salmon or Eel Nigiri; others are modern, like the Vegetable Salad Dressing Rolls or our Guacamole Gunkan. No matter what, our master chefs stay true to their authentic Japanese heritage in creating menu items.

Addressing the Concern of Mercury Levels in Bluefin Tuna and Overfishing

We are passionate about providing only the healthiest and freshest cuisine to our customers. Bluefin tuna, being one of the ocean’s largest species of fish, accumulate more toxins and have been found to be relatively high in mercury. In addition, Bluefin populations are being depleted throughout the world due to overfishing.

To protect consumer health and help conserve marine life, we do not use Bluefin tuna in our products. In place of Bluefin tuna, Genji uses Bigeye tuna, which contains less amounts of mercury than its larger cousin, and has an ideal texture, color and taste for sushi.

In our most recent independently conducted lab test, the mercury content in Genji’s tuna resulted in a yield of 0.217 parts per million, well below the 1.0 action level.
