The Genki Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar in Wilmington, North Carolina, wanted a special gift for the holiday season. They explored the usual venues, but nothing was getting them excited and inspired. Then they contacted Playwell Bricks.

The client had an idea of what they wanted. Something that would embody who they are as a restaurant and the bonds they shared with the people who both work there and frequent the restaurant. The obvious sets; a sushi roll or a meal recreated in bricks, were all well and good, but would that delight their recipients? The client had seen the Brickheadz™ sets in the wild and wondered if something similar were possible.

At the heart of every restaurant is its Chef, so if the Genki Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar wanted a custom Playwell Bricks set in the style of Brickheadz™, then recreating the restaurant’s beloved Chef Danny was a wonderful choice. It would delight the restaurant’s clients, staff, as well as honour their Chef.

Playwell Bricks designer Pedro Lara did the design, keeping with the Brickheadz™ elements of wideset eyes and stocky presence. For some key personal details, Pedro added a sword for a sushi knife and, of course, a fish. On his apron, stickers were designed to read “Chef Danny” so there would be no mistake which chef was being represented.
