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. Not only is the food of exceptional quality, but the location and design of the restaurant creates a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be extraordinary. Wagyu is a top grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is so tender and juicy, it can almost melt in your mouth. Being an expert in Wagyu, this beef is offered in many dishes in the restaurant. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a popular selection among lunchtime visitors. Personally, I recommend trying the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. It is also served with vegetables and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste delicious, but being able cook it yourself adds an added touch of magic.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only delicacy it has to offer. Frequent lunch visitors also love the bento box. The restaurant offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite 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 decoration and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. It is relaxing and tantalising which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle ornaments have a calming affect and lets you to feel like you are having a quiet meal at home, even though you are in the presence with other people.
Overall, Takumi is a marvelous Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
