1. Mizumi
Mizumi sits at the foot of the Kinneret, and that alone shifts the pace. There’s a sense here of a meal unfolding by the water, with meticulous Japanese cooking that leans on fresh ingredients, clean plates, and precision that doesn’t try to shout.
This isn’t just a stop on the way north, but a place that justifies a trip in its own right. Start with hot bites, move to fish, continue to ramen or a main, and let the breeze do its thing. The pace stays light and the plates speak for themselves.
Must-try dishes: red tuna nigiri, temaki (cone) aburi and roll with seared salmon, shishito roll.
📍 Address: Sheldeg Beach, Moshavat Kinneret.
2. Soho

The menu here is especially broad, with classic sushi alongside creative rolls, hot Asian dishes, fish, seafood, noodles, and cocktails. There’s something very Rishon LeZion about it in the best sense: generous, lively, full of movement, with tables that invite you to share as much as possible.

📍 Address: Moshe Beker 15, Rishon LeZion
3. Kura Sushi

The menu leans on sushi, gyoza, wakame salad, and Asian dishes that connect to a clear Israeli palate. It’s a spot suited for a light meal after work, a casual date, or a table of friends wanting to order plenty, share everything, and let the rolls pass hand to hand.
Must-try dishes: Snowhite roll with raw salmon and red tuna, tobiko, sashimi roll with tuna, salmon, and sea bream.

The pleasure here is in the combination of sushi and beach atmosphere. Start with rolls for the center, continue to a combination, add a drink if you arrive at the right time, and let the view do its thing. There’s also a happy hour Sun–Thu between 4:00–7:00 PM, with discounts on alcohol and food for club members, so the sushi gets another good reason to arrive early.

It works especially well for tables that want both sushi and other things in between. One roll, a poke bowl, something hot to share, and then another combination because the table’s already found its rhythm. The atmosphere is colorful, and the experience is built around lots of small bites that make things cheerful.
