NEWSLETTER MIYABI - 22.4.2026
DEAR GUESTS, DEAR FRIENDS!
Have you already gone somewhere to admire the blossoms of the trees? I went to Petřín! There is also a beautiful orchard in the Dendrological Garden in Průhonice. But perhaps you don’t have to go far, because blooming cherry trees may be right in your street. It is beautiful! Moreover, May 1st is approaching—do not forget the kisses under blooming apple trees! They are already in bloom on Petřín. Please also include a visit to Miyabi among your spring blooming joys, because on May 5th we celebrate our anniversary. On May 5th, 1995, Miyabi was born.
TAMAGOYAKI AS A GIFT FOR YOU
Birthdays are always an occasion to celebrate—and this year we will prepare excellent tamagoyaki for you, our guests, as a small token of attention. We make them very well at Miyabi, and the birthday ones will be prepared for you with kampyo, edamame, and cherry blossoms. They will be beautifully spring-like tamagoyaki. Do not forget. It is on Tuesday, and the tamagoyaki will be prepared for the entire opening day for each of you. You will also be able to enjoy our samurai with a kabuto helmet, which we take out of its boxes and display every year for a few days, because on May 5th the Boys’ Festival Tango no Sekku is celebrated in Japan. You can read more on our website. The article is called Tango no Sekku – samurai, koinobori and irises.
WAGASHI WORKSHOP – SPRING WIND AND IRIS
Irises. Iris. Sh?bu. Have you ever seen an iris garden in Japan? For example Horikiri in Tokyo? Irises bloom in May and June and they are breathtaking. I will certainly create iris ikebana arrangements at Miyabi, but it will not be only ikebana to honor irises—we will also create nerikiri wagashi in the shape of an iris. And also abstract shape of spring wind. You can learn to make them at our workshop with Miss Mei. It is necessary to make a reservation HERE— it will again take place in the beautiful setting of our little Zen house, on Sunday, May 3rd from 6:00 PM. One hour later than usual. We will prepare sencha tea and mitarashi dango wagashi. And you will also be able to enjoy the moss garden. After two years without moss, we have once again decided to lay it—and above all to protect it in every possible way from mischievous birds.
HANAMI IN HANSPAULKA
With irises and the anniversary I have stepped right into May, but I must still mention one April activity, which is the Hanami festival—literally the celebration of viewing flowers. Hanami in Hanspaulka in Prague 6 is organized every year by the Czech-Japanese Association. Miyabi has been participating since the very first year, and we always prepare extensively for this occasion.
MIYABI AT MANIFESTO
And now back to May again. Miyabi has accepted participation in a Japanese gastro festival, which takes place at the Manifesto venue in Smíchov. It is on Saturday and Sunday, the 16th and 17th. We will offer three kinds of donburi—with wagyu, with butakakuni, and with aburabozukakuni. On the grill we will prepare wagyu steaks from premium Japanese wagyu, as well as hamburgers, and from wagyu we will also have an excellent soup with gobo and tofu. We will also add our popular wagyu futomaki sushi. Some Japanese sweets will be on offer too.
WAGYU DAYS AT MIYABI
And because we will be ordering a larger quantity of good wagyu, you will also be able to enjoy wagyu delicacies at our Miyabi. Yes, we will offer Wagyu Days again, because you have grown fond of them. It will be from Friday to Sunday—from May 22nd to 24th. Please make your reservation in time. The repertoire will be rich — take a look at our offer!
Blooming trees all around, tulips beneath them, and soon there will be irises as well. In Japanese, iris is called sh?bu, and a word with the same pronunciation also means honor, pride, determination, and courage. The iris has thus taken on the role in Japanese culture of representing these samurai virtues—indeed, virtues that each of us should cherish in order to live well.
I wish you all things beautiful! To make wishes—for oneself and for others—and to speak through the things around us, such as irises for instance, can become an enjoyable game that enriches everyday life. So—beautiful weather and joy from the blossoms!
Yours, Miyabi Darja
