The distinctive setting features serene rock gardens and bamboo walls that serve to transport you to a place of Zen-like tranquility. Nihonbashi offers you a selection of seven uniquely styled private dining rooms and a one- of- a -kind Yakitori Garden where guests can enjoy real yakitori under a bamboo canopy. Dharshan draws on his dual heritage to create a delectable menu, combining the best of Sri Lankan ingredients with traditional Japanese culinary techniques, to provide a dining experience like no other.
