Japanese Restaurant for Lunch and Dinner
If you want to experience a culinary chef-d’oeuvre, a visit to Takumi is a must. 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 enjoyable ambience.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be great. 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 cooked in many ways. Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. I highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. Companioned by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste delicious, 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 delicacy it has to offer. Frequent lunch patrons also enjoy the bento box. The restaurant offers several selections on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. You cannot stop at one. If you love seafood, order yourself 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 provides a very zen-like feeling. It is relaxing and inviting which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a tranquilizing 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.
