Japanese Restaurant for Lunch and Dinner
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 tremendous quality, but the location and design of the restaurant produces a relaxing and pleasant ambiance.
Takumi is the only Melbourne Japanese restaurant that offers 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. This beef is the main ingredient in many dishes offered in the restaurant. Many visitors 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. Accompanied by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavoursome, but being able prepare it yourself is an great experience.
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 popular Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are exceedingly good and addictive. You cannot stop at one. If you love seafood, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.
The decor and color scheme of the restaurant has a very zen feeling. It is relaxing and inviting which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle decorations have a calming 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 fantastic Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Saki choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
