物語

A Legacy of
Authenticity

First established at the Hilton Colombo in 1987, Ginza Hohsen holds the distinction of being Sri Lanka's very first authentic Japanese restaurant — a pioneering culinary landmark that introduced the island to the art of Japanese gastronomy.

For nearly four decades, we have remained unwavering in our commitment to authentic Japanese culinary traditions. Every dish that leaves our kitchen carries the soul of Japan — from the precise knife work of our sashimi to the theatrical artistry of our teppanyaki chefs.

Now located at the iconic Galadari Hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean, Ginza Hohsen continues to set the standard for Japanese fine dining in Sri Lanka, welcoming both loyal patrons and new guests to an experience that transcends mere dining.

"What may lack in pretence is more than made up by the range and quality of the produce as well as the showcased hospitality. Mr Prasad presides over efficient and attentive service, telltale sign of a well-oiled operation."
