Café Nihonbashi Kandy is an extension of Nihonbashi Colombo, one of Sri Lanka’s exclusive Japanese (Washoku) restaurants founded by the renowned chef and restaurateur Dharshan Munidasa. Nihonbashi means Japan Bridge. Their culinary excellence is amply reflected in the gastronomic fare that uses the finest Sri Lankan ingredients and traditional Japanese culinary techniques that rationalize the name. Having been a regular in Colombo’s gastronomic landscape for over two decades, Nihonbashi has the distinction of being the first Sri Lankan restaurant to be ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants and maintaining its presence on this prestigious list for six consecutive years.
