Yummy Japanese Cuisine
If you are in the mood for a culinary masterpiece, then you should visit Takumi. 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 pleasant atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that offers 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 many styles. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a popular selection among lunchtime visitors. If you do not fancy having burgers, try the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a smokeless grill. Companioned by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste yummy, but being able cook it yourself is an excellent experience.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only Japanese delicacy it has to offer. Regular lunch visitors also enjoy the bento box. Takumi offers several choices on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. One is certainly not enough. If you are in an adventurous mood, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The decor and color schema of the restaurant has a very zen feeling. It is relaxing and inviting which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle decorations have a calming 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 choices of Sake, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
