NEWS, EVENTS AND INSPIRATION FROM THE WORLD OF MIYABI!

NEWSLETTER MIYABI - JUNE 23, 2026

DEAR GUESTS, DEAR FRIENDS!

Are you happy that the holidays are approaching? If you are, and I believe you are, then let us call out in Japanese: Banzai! Hooray! And while saying banzai, let us throw our hands up into the air. Banzai! That is how the Japanese do it. In general, they use all kinds of gestures much more than we do. Fingers, for example, are a wonderful tool for expressing something. If you place the index fingers of your left and right hands opposite each other, bend them slightly, bring them a bit close together, and wiggle them a few times, you are saying that two people – maybe the two of you – are achi chi. It has nothing to do with cats, as in “chi chi chi,” but means that the two people are in love. Hot.
I also like the gesture where two people hook their little fingers together and say: Yubi kiri! Yakusoku! They are simply making a promise. It comes from the song Yubi Kiri Genman, which says that if you do not keep the promise, I will make you swallow a thousand needles. Hari senbon. A yakusoku is a serious matter. So then, let us make a promise—a yakusoku—that after the holidays we will meet again, safe and well, and celebrate it together at Miyabi.

SUMMER KAISEKI AND OMAKASE EVENING
But before you set off for destinations near and far – or when you return from your travels – you may wish to set aside some time for a visit to Miyabi. Our summer kaiseki menu will delight both your taste buds and your eyes. Even on hot summer days, it is important to eat well. Sometimes we are worn out by the heat and do not even feel like eating. At such moments, remember that in summer your energy can be revived by a well-prepared small steak and, above all, by nourishing eel—unagi. Both unagi and steak are part of our summer menu, and there is much more in the menu, because kaiseki is characterized by having a little bit of many dishes, which together create a symphony of flavors.

A symphony of flavors is also our nine-course menu, which we serve during our Omakase evenings. The nearest Omakase evening is this Thursday, June 25th (still some seats available), and the next one will not be until the middle of September. Mr. Saito and I always look forward very much to these evenings, and we always want to surprise our guests with something special. This time it will be yuba, the delicate skin that forms during the production of tofu and is considered a great delicacy. I associate yuba with temple cuisine, and I love it very much.

 

HOLIDAY AT MIYABI – June 29th to July 6th (Reopening on July 7th)
As soon as this week comes to an end, Miyabi will be taking a one-week holiday. I think the employees of Miyabi will be full of the feeling of Banzai! There were several special events in June, and everyone is looking forward to a well-deserved rest, somewhere by the water. We apologize that we will not be able to serve you during the week from June 29th to July 5th.

TANABATA FESTIVAL – July 18th
How else can we celebrate summer? Perhaps by making wishes. In Japan, there is a summer festival for wishes of all kinds: Tanabata. You write your wish on a small colored strip of paper and then bind it on a branch of a bamboo tree. You do not have to travel all the way to Japan for the festival, because this year again Tanabata is organized by the Czech-Japanese Society in Dolní Počernice. Miyabi will take part with our offer of sushi futomaki and all the other delicacies you like to eat. There are always many stalls, as well as a nice stage and a nice program. Put on a summer yukata if you have one, or have one dressed on you at the place, because summer Japanese clothing will add to your joy. Tanabata Banzai!

Now at the end of this letter I am thinking that one more finger gesture would be suitable. How about Hanaji booooo! Do not be discouraged by the fact that hanaji means a nosebleed, because the Japanese apparently mean it playfully and in very friendly way. It certainly does not mean that someone wants to punch you in the nose. Let me explain—it is a comic gesture in which you cover both nostrils with your index and middle fingers and then pull those fingers down with a noticeable movement, as if a stream of blood were flowing from your nose. But nothing is flowing; you are only imagining that pressure in your head which has built up because you like someone. Hanaji booooo! What is interesting is that this gesture is apparently not unpleasant for the person toward whom it is directed. It is a nice, friendly message. I must try it, but there will probably be a lot of explaining involved. Perhaps ending in laughter. Hanaji booooo! Boooo is the stream.

I wish you that you like the people around you and that you want to tell them so, that you make good promises with your friends and keep them, and that you experience joy every day and cannot do otherwise than jump up with your hands in the air and call out: Banzai!

Yours, Miyabi Darja
