01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Located on basement level 1 of the Marunouchi Eiraku Building, Samushin blends the casual ease of an izakaya with imaginative contemporary cooking. Chicken dishes prepared cut by cut form the backbone of the menu. Selections from the signature grilled chicken range from aromatic thigh and neck meat to heart and liver, complemented by plump steamed housemade chicken shumai and fried mid-wings.
Approachable Small Plates and Luxurious Clay Pot Rice
For those looking to graze over drinks, the varied array of small plates offers plenty to explore. Cold starters like the house potato salad and creamy cheese tofu sit beside sizzling shrimp ajillo and spicy shrimp mapo tofu, effortlessly crossing culinary borders. As a satisfying centerpiece to conclude a shared meal, the aromatic clay pot rice topped with grilled mackerel and gleaming salmon roe is a popular choice that brightens any table.
From Lunch Sets to Post-Meal Desserts
During the midday hours, lunch sets centered on chicken shumai or grilled fish draw office workers looking for a balanced meal customizable with assorted small side dishes. To wrap up dining, desserts like rich Basque cheesecake and lychee black tea blancmange are ready to order. With both counter and table seating, the dining room comfortably accommodates solo dining on a work break as well as convivial group gatherings.
