My Visit to a Melbourne Japanese Restaurant
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 top notch, but the design of the restaurant produces a relaxing and beautiful ambiance.
Takumi is the only Melbourne Japanese restaurant that serves Wagyu beef. Wagyu is a premium grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. This beef is the main ingredient in many dishes offered 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 smokeless grill. It is also served with salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste yummy, 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 patrons also enjoy the bento box. Takumi offers several options on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are exceedingly 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 offers a very zen-like 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 ornaments have a tranquilizing 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 great Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
