President Ranil Wickremesinghe inaugurated the “Nihonbashi” Japanese Restaurant situated within the premises of the Colombo Port City.

The first of its kind, “Nihonbashi” was originally established in 1995 at Galle Face Terrace by renowned chef Darshana Munidasa, and has since been a prominent destination for both local and international patrons seeking authentic Japanese cuisine over the past 29 years.

During the opening ceremony, the President took a tour of the restaurant, engaging in friendly conversation with the attendees.

Notable figures such as Sagala Ratnayaka, the President’s Senior Adviser on National Security, and Chief of Staff to the President, were also present to mark the occasion.
