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 ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be tremendous. Wagyu is a premium 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 multiple styles. Many people enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. If you do not fancy having burgers, order the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. 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 prepare it yourself is an great experience.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only tasty delicacy it has to offer. A bento box is also a fun way to enjoy your lunch. The restaurant offers a few options on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are exceedingly 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 decoration and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. It is relaxing and inviting which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a calming affect and lets you to feel like you are having a quiet meal at home, even though you are in the presence of other patrons.
Overall, Takumi is a tremendous Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
