Since its establishment in 1781, Izu has been loved as a restaurant specializing in Kyoto-style sushi. The specialty of this restaurant is saba-gatazushi (mackerel-shaped sushi), which is made by skilled chefs with careful attention to detail, and has been valued as a delicacy for special occasions, as a gift, or for the tatami room in the Hanamachi district.
On August 27, 2024 (Tuesday), a take-out store will open on the second basement floor of JR Kyoto Isetan. The store will offer the same tastes as the main store, including the famous mackerel sushi, futomaki sushi, and yaki-anago sushi, in small portions. The shop is directly connected to Kyoto Station for easy access, so it can be used for a variety of occasions, such as souvenirs and purchases for home use.
