Miyabi

Located at Corso Monforte 34, just steps from Piazza San Babila, Miyabi is a Japanese restaurant offering authentic, refined cooking. The name pays homage to the daughter of chef Hiko, previously owner of Bergamo venues such as Miyabi and Kura. With a background in prestigious Japanese restaurants including Rappongi Sushi Suzuki, Sushi Kikuchi and Nishiazabu Gonpachi, chef Hiko brings his deep knowledge of Japanese culinary tradition to Milan.

The setting at Miyabi is intimate and relaxed, with minimalist design that highlights the ingredients and the techniques. On the ground floor, a counter lets you watch the sushi chefs at work, ideal for a quick lunch or a casual dinner. On the first floor, two welcoming rooms seat around 40 guests, offering a more intimate backdrop for dinner with friends. The menu features high-quality Japanese cooking with subtle Western touches. This twist shows up in the use of extra virgin olive oil and basil marinades, while preserving a balance of sweet and sour in traditional sauces.

Daily fresh fish deliveries and meticulous rice preparation form the foundation of every dish. Specialities to try include fish carpaccio, such as sea bass with lemon, tarragon and extra virgin olive oil, or salmon with ponzu sauce and crispy potatoes. Hot dishes are also on offer, like yaki meshi, stir-fried rice with egg, vegetables, chicken or prawns, and yaki udon crostacei spicy, udon noodles with shellfish, salmon, chilli and sun-dried tomatoes. Naturally, the menu also features an extensive range of sushi, sashimi, osomaki and temaki, prepared with skill and precision.

To pair with your meal, Miyabi offers a selection of Italian wines and Japanese beers such as Asahi and Kirin. Service is swift and attentive, helping to ensure a pleasant and satisfying dining experience.
