NEWS, EVENTS AND INSPIRATION FROM THE WORLD OF MIYABI!

NEWSLETTER MIYABI - 25.9.2025

Dear guests, dear friends!

Autumn in Japan is a time when the world is shrouded in mystery. Kyoto is currently hosting yokai festivals, celebrating monsters and ghosts from ancient stories that remind people that life can never be fully understood, that it is full of surprises and playful mischief. For example kappa is a water sprite who has a bowl on his head filled with water that must never dry up. I always think of kappa when I order cucumber kappamaki sushi. It is clear that even Japanese water sprites like the color green. Autumn green. Yes, it’s autumn, and with it come autumn evenings, colder and longer, evenings when it’s nice to sit with friends and enjoy good food that pleases both the body and the soul.

At Miyabi, we have prepared several autumn events for you. At the turn of September and October, from September 30 to October 3, we will be offering wagyu ramen. The rich and fragrant wagyu broth will carry the essence of autumn, and your experience will be enhanced by homemade wagyu roast beef. The wagyu ramen will only be available for a few days, until the pot is empty. Those of you who have tasted our wagyu soup at our outdoor events know what we’re talking about. The broth is the best!

Right after that comes Akimatsuri, the autumn festival organized annually by the Japanese community. It will be on October 5, and of course we will be there. You’ll easily recognize our stand because we are there every year for many years offering curry rice. It’s a favorite food of Japanese children and adults alike, and it’s a must at Akimatsuri. We’ll also be adding our onigiri and futomaki, as well as wagashi nerikiri from Miss Aiko. At the autumn festival, from every booth you can enjoy nice fragrance of good food, taiko drums set the mood, and people have great time. We are always happy to meet many friends and guests from Miyabi there. A small note – make sure you go to the right place! The festival is being held at a different location than last year, a completely new location.

If you are a lover of fine dining, then you are surely looking forward to Miyabi’s autumn Omakase guided evening. The Omakase feast will take place on Tuesday, October 14. Our sushi master Noritada Saito and I are already thinking about what delicacies we will serve you. The word omakase means “I’ll leave it up to you,” and in Japan, it is usually an experience full of surprises, as guests do not know what they will be served or even how much they will end up paying. Here, you know that the price is CZK 2,600, but the nine courses of the Omakase menu remain a secret. The reservation deposit is CZK 1,000, and you can secure your place now. I believe it will be an evening when our motto, “douzo zonbun ni otanoshimi kudasai – enjoy yourself to the fullest,” will come true.

Zonbun ni otanoshimi kudasai applies doubly to our Sushi tabehoudai. Tabehoudai means “Eat as much as you want,” and believe me, we always have to stock up well for that evening. We organize Tabehoudai every year on International Sushi Day, which is November 1.

I would also like to invite you to try our autumn kaiseki menu. We will be finishing it today, and you will be able to order Aki kaiseki in the coming days. Everything is served in beautiful dishes that remind us that autumn is outside the window, and of course, the ingredients used are also autumnal. Bon appétit!

I am really looking forward to autumn kaki. Persimmons. I really like this fruit. But it must not have shibumi, bitterness. Persimmons must be just ripe and also of the right variety. Plain ones can sometimes be quite bitter, as in the proverb where bitter persimmons are referred to as unworthy bad people. The saying goes: Shibugaki no nagamochi. Translated, it means: Bitter persimmons last the longest. Shibui. Even the character itself seems to clench the tongue – 渋.

So please treat yourself not only to sweet persimmons, but also to many dear friends without shibumi. Without a bitter taste! I wish you an autumn full of beautiful autumn colors and feelings as sweet as good persimmons, which are best eaten at just the right time.

Yours, Miyabi Darja
