The perfect drink,
Makes cooking with spices more fun.
Enjoy a special moment where you can relax and find the perfect drink combination for you, and experience new surprises and refreshment.
There are many different countries and peoples in the world, each with their own history and culture. Even if you think you know everything, there are probably many things you don't know.
At the spicy restaurant Izon, we choose themes from news or interesting events, research history and culture deeply, and then express the stories that emerge from those themes in the form of cuisine.
Through the experience of eating, you can face the world from a new perspective. You are sure to make unexpected discoveries.
By changing the vague image you have of others and eliminating preconceptions and prejudices, you will be able to understand others from an unbiased perspective.
