Marek has always wanted to be a professional chef. And now, heading up the chic Miyabi restaurant in Prague, he most certainly is. In the 23 years since he started cooking – aged just ten! – Marek has risen to the status of a truly pioneering chef, fully immersed in the traditions and techniques of traditional Japanese cuisine. Miyabi will soon be celebrating its 15th anniversary. Set up with a vision to build an authentic Japanese restaurant in the heart of the Czech Republic, Miyabi evokes the tranquillity and aesthetics of the Tea Ceremony – and seeks to reproduce the strong spirit of hospitality that the ceremony represents. Miyabi’s logo is CaJ, meaning “Czech and Japan” but also evoking the Czech word for tea, caj. Marek’s role here is to bring the two distant and distinct cultures of the Czech Republic and Japan together, merging them into an authentic gastronomic experience in the heart of Bohemia! ![]() Since becoming a sushi chef I have been enjoying exploring the endless creative opportunities that sushi offers. I love the way in which sushi combines flavour and texture with artistic expression, and I place particularly emphasis on the neatness and delicacy of sushi presentation. The creative environment of Miyabi is perfect for me to grow and improve as a chef. Not only do our guests expect top-quality sushi, they also come to enjoy our paintings, calligraphy, porcelain…the whole restaurant functions as an artistic, aesthetic whole. ![]()
