Yummy Japanese Cuisine
Takumi is the place to visit if you are in the mood for a culinary chef-d’oeuvre. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food of exceptional quality, but the location and design of the restaurant makes a relaxing and pleasurable ambience.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef. If you don’t know what Wagyu is, it is a premium grade cut of beef. It is so tender and juicy, it can almost melt in your mouth. You can get this beef prepared in multiple styles. Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. Personally, I recommend trying the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. Companioned by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste scrumptious, but being able cook it yourself adds an added touch of magic.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only tasty delicacy it has to offer. The bento box is also a famous lunch option among regular visitors. Takumi offers a few options on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you like something different, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The decor of the restaurant provides a very zen-like feeling. It is relaxing and inviting which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a tranquillizing affect and lets you to feel like you are having a quiet meal at home, even though you are in a restaurant with other people.
Overall, Takumi is a fantastic Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one in my book.
