(343)

Zen was Malta’s first Japanese restaurant and it is still widely regarded to be the best, with a wide selection of specialities and delicacies including miso soup, nigirizushi, makimono, usuzukuri, sashimi, tempura, as well as seafood and wagyu-beef traditionally cooked on our Teppanyaki table. The contemporary style of the restaurant blends effortlessly with the chic menu, providing an all-round,

Japanese-style dining experience. Sushi is the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of Japanese cuisine, but Zen represents a more traditional, homely style of Japanese food still relatively unknown in the west. We use high quality ingredients to give tradition a gourmet twist. Japanese cuisine is a ritual in itself – a celebration of time-honoured traditions, fresh ingredients and charming hospitality. Our knowledgeable staff will be happy to guide you – whether this is your first taste of Japanese cuisine or the latest of many!

Setsubun literally means "seasonal division" and is a festival held on the day before the beginning of spring according to the Japanese lunar calendar. Rituals are held on this day to drive away evil spirits and welcome good fortune.

Rituals vary throughout Japan, but one of the more common and well-known rituals is mamemaki (豆撒き, "bean throwing"). People throw roasted soybeans, or fukumame (福豆, "fortune beans"), out from the front door of their homes or shrines while shouting "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" (鬼は倖！福は内！, "Devils out! Fortune in!"). Often times, a family member will wear an oni (ι¬Ό, "demon or ogre") mask, acting as the devil while the rest of the family throw the beans. Afterwards, each individual will eat the number of beans that corresponds with their age.

Another well-known ritual (originally from the Kansai Region) is the eating of the eho-maki (恡方巻き, "lucky direction sushi roll").
The ritual consists of eating the entire eho-maki without speaking while facing that year’s lucky direction (恡方, eho), praying for health, prosperity, and family harmony.

The lucky direction for 2026: South-southeast lucky πŸ€ ✨🌸
