My Love for Japanese Cuisine
If you want to experience a culinary chef-d’oeuvre, a visit to Takumi is a must. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food top notch, but the design of the restaurant creates a relaxing and pleasurable ambience.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that offers Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be tremendous. Wagyu is a top grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. You can get this beef prepared in many styles. Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. I highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a charcoal grill. It is also served with 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 patrons. Takumi offers several options on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely 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 decoration of the restaurant provides a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle decorations have a tranquilizing affect and allows you to feel like you are having a quiet meal at home, even though you are in the presence with other people.
Overall, Takumi is a great Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
