This was my second visit to Sabi Omakase, but my first experience with Chef Jan. I had high expectations after an impressive first visit three years ago—and I was not disappointed.
Chef Jan, a young and relaxed presence behind the counter, brought a calm and welcoming energy to the room. But once he began preparing the dishes, he entered a different zone—completely focused and deeply respectful of his craft. It was clear he had both passion and humility. He emphasized letting the ingredients speak for themselves, saying he “only” presented and assembled them in their best form—and that intention came through in every bite.
His approach brought a fresh and personal touch that distinguished this menu from the previous one, something I truly appreciated. It was also the first time I genuinely enjoyed mackerel—a fish I’ve never been particularly fond of before. That alone says a lot about his skill.
Talent, dedication, and integrity in one’s craft speak far louder than superficial impressions. Chef Jan is a perfect example of that.
