My Love for Japanese Food
If you are in the mood for a culinary chef-d’oeuvre, then you should visit Takumi. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food of remarkable quality, but the location and design of the restaurant makes a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Melbourne Japanese restaurant that offers Wagyu beef. If you don’t know what Wagyu is, it is a premium grade cut of beef. It is tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. . Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. Personally, I recommend ordering the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a charcoal grill. Accompanied by veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavorsome, but being able prepare it yourself adds an added touch of magic.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only delicacy it has to offer. Regular lunch patrons also love the bento box. The restaurant offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you like something different, order yourself 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. It is relaxing and tantalising which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek and comfortable 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 the presence of other patrons.
Overall, Takumi is a fantastic Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Sake, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
