Genji Sushi Ups the Flavor with Fresh Mango Maki and Coco Loco Rolls

PHILADELPHIA - Aug. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- WHAT:

Just as mangos hit their peak season, Genji Sushi has introduced a line of colorful, perfectly summery rolls featuring the delicious fruit at all Genji locations within Whole Foods Market stores nationwide. Two rolls, the Tuna Mango Fresh Roll and Coconut Shrimp Mango Fresh Roll, feature a sweet and sour pickled mango purée, and forego sushi rice in favor of a deliciously light rice-paper wrap. These rolls are both complemented by a South-East Asian Sweet Chili Peanut sauce, whose earthy spice pairs perfectly with the fresh and sweet mango.

The third roll in the limited offer line is the Coco-Loco Coconut, which features decadent coconut shrimp, pickled mango slices and drizzles of Genji's sweet and tangy Kabayaki BBQ Sauce and Nayonaise®-based mango mayo.

"Mangos are a seasonal delicacy all over the world - and it's wonderful to incorporate their natural sweetness and tang into our offerings," says Genji’s Corporate Executive Chef Takao Iinuma, protégé of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, "These rolls are a wonderful way to enjoy their bright, fresh flavor at the peak of the season, and I'm hoping our customers will love them as much as I do!"
