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.
Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that offers Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be great. If you don’t know what Wagyu is, it is a premium grade cut of beef. It is so tender and juicy, it can almost melt in your mouth. You can get this beef prepared in multiple styles. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a favorite selection among lunchtime visitors. Personally, I recommend ordering the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a smokeless grill. Companioned by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavoursome, but being able cook it yourself is an great experience.
This Japanese restaurant may specialize in Wagyu beef, but that is not the only Japanese delicacy it has to offer. The bento box is also a famous lunch option among regular visitors. The restaurant offers several choices on the main entree for the bento box. A favorite Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. One is definitely not enough. If you are in an adventurous mood, order yourself the Unagi Bento Box. 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. It is relaxing and tantalising which makes you feel like you are right at home. The sleek and comfortable tan chairs and subtle decorations have a sedating 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 exceptional Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Sake, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
