Owner Introduction

Takuya Yoshifuji

Born in Osaka City. After playing in a band, he worked in the sales department of a military apparel wholesaler. After quitting the company, he rented a space in a second-hand clothing store called "Used Clothing Izon" and opened a curry restaurant called "Spice Curry Izon."

In April 2022, he started "Curry Around the World," a project to create curry with a country theme. The first country was Italy. Around this time, he started to enjoy making curry so much that he decided to focus on being a curry restaurant.

In October 2022, the store will open at its current location. The store operates daily with the belief of "making art with curry." The store has collaborated with art works at the Kyoto City University of Arts Gallery @KCUA and performing arts at KYOTO EXPERIMENT, creating curry.

Currently, he is enthusiastically creating spice dishes other than curry. Alongside managing the store, he asks designers he knows to design goods for the brand, and he also develops izon goods using his own knowledge of fashion design and military-related matters, and he also supervises the izon blog.
