01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Samon offers two distinct experiences under one roof: an unhurried, casual café space and an atmosphere focused on dining with views of a manicured Japanese garden. Lunch in the café area features homestyle cooking with seasonal touches, such as tender, juicy tonteki pork steaks alongside refreshing small sides like chilled winter melon in a delicate starchy sauce. A post-meal coffee makes it an easy spot to linger and unwind.

For those wishing to immerse themselves in the lush greenery, advance reservations can secure terrace seating facing the garden or a table in the detached annex. Overlooking the verdant grounds, diners can enjoy terrace lunches or inventive seasonal kaiseki courses, savoring quiet, contemplative moments away from the daily routine.
