About

Inside Daitoku-ji’s Daiji-in grounds, Izusen serves multi-course shojin ryori in a traditional temple setting, with seasonal small dishes presented in iron-style bowls. The vegetarian sets are a substantial lunch experience, but fish and meat also appear on the venue’s broader menu, and fish broth has been reported in some dishes.
