Chahan at Nihonbashi

Most of us love fried rice, which is a popular component of Asian cuisine, with its irresistible fragrance especially when it is served straight from the frying wok !!!

Among the countless variations of fried rice, Japanese cuisine too has its own varieties commonly falling under Cha-han which is a key component especially in Ramen restaurants in Japan. It is very different from fried rice found in American Chinese or authentic Chinese cuisine, as it uses Japanese short-grain rice, which generally has a stickier consistency than that used in other countries.

Inspired fine Japanese cuisine in Colombo, Nihonbashi serves you a variety of cha-han or Japanese style fried rice to suit your likings and taste preferences namely chicken cha-han, shake cha-han (Norwegian salmon Japanese style fried rice), ebi cha-han (succulent whole tiger prawns in fried rice), Yaki buta cha-han (slow roast home made char siu pork fried rice) and of course not forgetting to serve the veggie lovers vegan cha-han. Nihonbashi imports Japanese rice and uses stock water bringing the real taste of the cha-han for diners.

Kani Cha-han which can be defined as ‘Japanese style crab fried rice’ is a Nihonbashi signature dish with a fusion introduced by the founder and owner, Chef Dharshan Munidasa with an unbeatable taste that can never be met by any other Japanese restaurant.
