NEWS, EVENTS AND INSPIRATION FROM THE WORLD OF MIYABI!

NEWSLETTER MIYABI - SEPTEMBER 25, 2026

DEAR GUESTS, DEAR FRIENDS!

Do you sometimes feel that the world is upside down and everything is turned on its head? Topsy-turvy. In order to be able to cope with this “upside down” world, some training is useful. What kind? For example, living for some time in a foreign country, and if you wanted really tough training, then I recommend Japan. There they do everything the opposite way. And when you are surprised and ask why this or that is done that way, the Japanese often do not even know. Even “this and that” is reversed for them: first they say “that” and then “this”. We say “here and there”, the Japanese say “there and here”. Acchi kocchi. We might say, for example, that I will take three or four things with me, and the Japanese put it in the opposite order. Four, three. And that is only the beginning. So – it is better not to ask too many questions, because otherwise you may be labelled a “complaining machine”. That is what I was called. The Japanese thought that by asking questions I was criticizing them. They are quite sensitive about such things. If you like, we can talk about these different customs and about your own stories. I am offering the Zen house and the date October 8 at 6:00 p.m. Please let us know if you are coming. Admission is free, with a voluntary contribution into the box.

OCTOBER WAGASHI WORKSHOP

 I will see some of you even earlier, on October 4, because that evening, from 6:00 p.m., there will be another wagashi workshop with Ms. Mei. Using nerikiri, we will create a maple leaf and a kabocha pumpkin. With the tea, there will be pumpkin manju. Yes, it is autumn. September’s Moon viewing with tsukimi dango was a welcome to autumn; now we are already in it. In autumn. A reservation is necessary. You can make it HERE.

 

AKI KAISEKI MENU

Autumn is called AKI in Japanese. You already know what kaiseki is – refined Japanese dishes arranged into a symphony of experiences – and so we invite you to feast in an elegant way. You can taste our Aki kaiseki menu starting today. When our sushi master, Mr. Saito, saw everything together, he was delighted. “Aki sono mono,” he said. I can translate it as: “This is autumn as it should be.” “Autumnal autumn.” Of course, I used mushrooms in the menu. Shiitake are served as chips on the suzuki fish, and enoki mushrooms are served as tempura in the nimonowan dish. The nimonowan also contains mackerel and eggplant cooked in dashi, and I think it is a very successful course. As nigiri sushi, you will have nigiri with shiitake, nigiri with maguro and foie gras, and nigiri with aburabozu in a yuzukoshou style. Daigaku imo potatoes in honey are meant to remind you of the new school year, which I am sure you are already managing well, either as parents or as students. Daigaku means “university”, and Japanese students have always loved this dish. And of course, pumpkin will not be missing, this time as a creamy soup with ginger. Let yourself be surprised and come to make yourself happy!

SAKE DAYS AT MIYABI

Did you know that Japan celebrates Sake Day? Since 1978, October 1 has been designated as Nihonshu no Hi. Nihonshu means sake and Hi means day. Sake has been celebrated in October since ancient times. It is after the rice harvest, and the sake breweries begin to get very busy. The master brewer – called the touji – does not get home for months, because he does not want to leave the sake even for a moment, so that the sake being born does not get too warm and everything is just right. Just as it should be. This year, for the first time, we will celebrate this holiday at Miyabi, and we will celebrate for four days, from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4. To the excellent sake already on our menu from the ZAKU sake brewery – called Miyabi no Tomo and Miyabi no Gen – we will add two more sake. Our friend, sake sommelier Dagmar Kadlecová, will advise us. And to make the experience complete, we will recommend autumn dishes that our chefs will prepare especially for these four days of sake celebration. You can look forward to takikomi gohan, which is something like Japanese risotto. Kampai! Cheers!

We will also celebrate sake at our next gathering of Sakemilci, our club of sake lovers, on the evening of September 29, as if on the eve of Nihonshu no Hi. If you would like to become a member of our club, do not hesitate to contact me through Miyabi. Every one of our feasts with sake is a gift! Kampai!

The world is upside down, and what can we do about it? I would put my faith in friendship and in a brave and good mind. In the end, everything begins with people, with each one of us. Golden autumn, kampai!

Yours, Miyabi Darja
