〜といえば

接続:N/普通形+といえば
When we talk about A, we associate it or give an evaluation
注意 / Note:State a topic and then immediately say what people THINK about. Also used to start a new conversation when you hear someone mention that word. Different from 〜に関しては in that 〜といえば has a conversational tone, not a presentation tone.
比較 / Compare:Same article: 〜にかけては/〜に関しては. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:名詞・普通形+といえば。The latter part is a typical image or something that suddenly comes to mind.
京都といえば、古い寺が有名だ。
When it comes to Kyoto, it is famous for its ancient temples.
夏といえば、海に行きたくなる。
