Japanese expression ~1~ Kisetsu kan

Thank you for checking my blog. ^ ^  The viewers have been increasing these days.

Each language reflects each own culture.

So, I would like to introduce Japanese expression on this column.

That is... Kisetsu kan 

Kisetsu = season    kan = sense

Japan is known for the clear individuality of four season.

I found a Japanese good expression that shows the Japanese culture.

Japanese people sometimes say ''Kisetsu kan ga aru.'' 'Kisetsu kan ga nai''

If I translate directly, it means '''you have the good sense of feeling season'

''you have the bad sense of feeling season''  

(''aru = there is'' ''nai = there is not'')

For example, you use this expression when you eat the foods of best season at restaurant.

In Japanese culture, people praise someone who have the Kisetsu kan.

So, Japanese people say ''Asoko no mise no ryouri ha kisetsukan ga atte ii.''  between

Japanese in the daily conversation.(translation : That restaurant serves you a good season dishes.)
