Wagyu Beef the Japanese Way
If you are in the mood for a culinary masterpiece, then you should pay a visit to Takumi. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food of extraordinary quality, but the location and design of the restaurant creates a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne 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. Being an expert in Wagyu, this beef is offered in many dishes in the restaurant. Many people 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 veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste scrumptious, but being able cook it yourself is an excellent experience.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only delicacy it has to offer. Frequent lunch visitors also enjoy the bento box. The restaurant offers several selections on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super 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 and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek tan 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 wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
