My Visit to a Melbourne Japanese Restaurant
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. The food is top notch and the design and atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxing.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be great. 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 many styles. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a favorite selection among lunchtime visitors. If you do not fancy having burgers, give the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set a try. 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 yummy, 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 tasty delicacy it has to offer. The bento box is also a great lunch option among regular visitors. Takumi offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are exceedingly good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you love seafood, give the Unagi bento Box a try. 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. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a tranquillizing 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 exceptional Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
