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 great quality, but the location and design of the restaurant produces a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef. Wagyu is a top grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is so tender and juicy, it can almost melt in your mouth. This beef is the main ingredient in many dishes offered in the restaurant. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a favorite choice among lunchtime customers. 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 smokeless grill. It is also served with vegetables and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste delicious, but being able cook it yourself is an great experience.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only delicacy it has to offer. The bento box is also a well-known lunch option among regular patrons. Takumi offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you are a seafood fan, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The interior decoration and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a tranquilizing 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 choices of Sake, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
