About

Set in the former 1929 home and atelier of painter Takeuchi Seiho, The SODOH pairs Italian techniques with Japanese ingredients beside a landscaped garden and Yasaka Pagoda. Reviews describe polished course service and a dedicated vegan or vegetarian course by reservation, though one 2024 diner reported that no vegan menu was available, so confirm the current arrangements when booking.
