My Love Affair with Japanese Food
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. The food is top notch and the design and ambience of the restaurant is relaxing.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef. If you don’t know what Wagyu is, it is a top grade cut of beef. It is tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. . The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a popular choice among lunchtime visitors. I highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. It is also served with salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavorsome, 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 well-known lunch option among regular visitors. Takumi offers several choices on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. One is certainly not enough. If you like something different, give the Unagi bento Box a try. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The interior decoration of the restaurant provides a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek tan chairs and subtle decorations have a calming 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 exceptional Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
