[ The 24 seasons and 72 micro-seasons ]
Now four seasons are standard, but in ancient Japan the spring, summer, fall and winter were divided into 24 seasons, and each of those 24 seasons was further divided into 3 smaller seasons of 5 days each, called the 72 micro-seasons.
This helped people sense the changing seasons.
This is the season when the nights are at their longest.
Tradition has it that if you take a yuzu bath (hot citron bath) during the "Tōji (Winter solstice)," you won't catch a cold.
At SUIGIAN, you can enjoy the changing nature with our dishes and cocktails.
Be sure to try them!
