Wagyu Beef the Japanese Way
Takumi is the place to visit if you are in the mood for a culinary chef-d’oeuvre. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food of great quality, but the location and design of the restaurant creates a relaxing and pleasurable atmosphere.
Takumi is the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef. 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. Many visitors enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. Personally, I recommend trying the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a smokeless grill. Accompanied by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavoursome, but being able prepare it yourself 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. Takumi 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. I promise you cannot eat just 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 color scheme of the restaurant has a very zen feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle decorations 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 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.
