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 creates a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Melbourne Japanese restaurant that serves Wagyu beef. 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. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a popular selection among lunchtime visitors. Personally, I recommend trying the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a charcoal grill. Accompanied by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste scrumptious, but being able cook 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 visitors also love the bento box. Takumi offers a few choices on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. One is definitely 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 interior decoration of the restaurant offers a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable tan chairs and subtle decorations have a sedating 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 wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
