I went to Seilon Green, a Sri Lankan restaurant five minutes on foot from Hachioji Station, tucked behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape that many say resembles a Minecraft Nether Fortress. I tried kottu, a Sri Lankan casual dish. Kottu is made by stir-frying wheat-based noodles with vegetables. It was a bit spicier than other Hachioji restaurants I’ve tried before, so the sweetness and fizz of the ginger beer (a Sri Lankan soft drink) felt refreshing in my mouth. With more Sri Lankan students enrolling at our school, I’m really happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. When I told the students I’d eaten there, they were very pleased. I plan to try another dish next time. 😊
