Ambassador of Japan to Sri Lanka, Mizukoshi Hideaki, conferred “The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays” on Chef Dharshan Munidasa, Founder of Nihonbashi and Ministry of Crab at a special ceremony held recently, in recognition of his notable contributions towards the promotion of Japanese cuisine and food culture in Sri Lanka.
“The Order of the Rising Sun” is awarded by His Majesty the Emperor of Japan to foreign nationals who have made distinguished contributions to enhancing friendly relations with Japan.
Ambassador Mizukoshi commended Mr. Munidasa not only for managing a Japanese restaurant but also for his longstanding contributions to the understanding, promotion, and dissemination of Japanese cuisine, "Washoku," recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, both within and outside Sri Lanka.
Chef Munidasa also took the opportunity to reveal exciting new plans for his 29-year-old restaurant, Nihonbashi. “This year Nihonbashi will move to a brand new location at Port City, Colombo,” he said.
