My Love for Japanese Cuisine
Takumi is the place to visit if you are in the mood for a culinary masterpiece. 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 pleasant ambiance.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that offers Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be extraordinary. 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 ways. Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. If you do not fancy having burgers, give the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set a try. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a charcoal grill. Accompanied by vegetables and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavorsome, but being able prepare 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. Frequent lunch patrons also enjoy the bento box. The restaurant offers several options on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. You cannot stop at one. If you love seafood, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The decor and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable tan chairs and subtle decorations 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 wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one in my book.
