Sakura is one of those places you would walk past - until you step inside and find yourself in a Japanese Zen bubble. Located on a quiet side street of lively Nerja, this cozy restaurant serves flawless sushi, freshly prepared right where you sit. No conveyor belt, no all-you-can-eat, but quality over quantity. The service is friendly and genuinely proud of what they do. You taste it in everything: from the fragrant miso soup to the soft tuna nigiri. Even those who are not normally sushi fans can be surprised here. Reservations are smart, because it is small and popular.
