Delightful 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 top notch, but the design of the restaurant produces a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Melbourne Japanese restaurant that serves Wagyu beef. If you don’t know what Wagyu is, it is a top grade cut of beef. The meat is so tender and juicy it melts 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 ordering the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. It is also served with veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste scrumptious, but being able cook it yourself is an excellent experience.
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 patrons. The restaurant offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you love seafood, order yourself the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The interior decoration of the restaurant offers a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a tranquillizing affect and allows 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 tremendous Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Saki choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
