24 seasons, or 24 Sekki in Japanese, is the traditional Japanese calendar that divides a year into a series of much more specific seasons. In Izuyasu, we follow this natural rhythm and carefully choose only the best quality and seasonable ingredients of the day. It is precisely this close relationship with the seasons that allow us to produce a menu that is unique to every single day of the year.
