Fodor's Expert Review Sakura

Many consider Jerusalem's veteran Japanese restaurant the best of its kind in the country, with its specially imported ingredients and high standard of food and presentation. The sushi/sashimi combination is a must for fish enthusiasts, as is the salmon teriyaki and jumbo shrimp tempura. Vegetarian options are also available. Cleverly renovated, the old structure preserves and illuminates its honey limestone through a glass facade by day and soft lighting by night. An intimate loftlike upstairs room, a sushi bar, and a few tables in the entrance courtyard give a range of options.
