Wagyu Beef Japanese Style
If you want to experience a culinary masterpiece, 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 ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves 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 customers 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 smokeless grill. Accompanied by veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavorful, but being able to see it prepared 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. 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 entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. You cannot stop at 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 decoration 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 tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a sedating 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 wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one in my book.
