Sakura: "Best Japanese in Town" Top 5 Page for this destination Basel Restaurant Tip by Myndo

The Sakura is a Japanese Restaurant, located at/in the Train Station of Basel.

It is a very good (but not cheap) Restaurant. I like to go there for special occasions, like Celebrations etc.

The Restaurant is parted in two. In one part you can order dishes from the menu or have sushi a discretion.
In the other section the menue you choose is prepared and cooked right at your table. Its a japanese table-grill.

Its is better to book ahead.

When there is Mass in Basel (like the clocks an yewellery mass) you will not have a change to get a table here - too many Japanese that booked ahead for months ... (speaks for the restaurant, I think).

Favorite Dish: Tepanyaki (table grill).
Choose one of the menues.
Mostly starts wit Sushi or Sahimi, or grilled duck ...
then soup or salad with japanese stile sauce,
then Clams or shrimps from the grill in front of you
then Meat (beef sirloin or steak) flamb? also from the grill with garlik and vegetables (soja)
fruit salad as dessert

drink sake and green tea with it, if you want to be traditional. They do also have good wine.

Service is excellent and watching the cook preparing the food makes quite a show.
