Japanese Restaurant for Lunch and Dinner
Takumi is the place to visit if you are in the mood for a culinary masterpiece. 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.
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. You can get this beef prepared in many ways. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a popular choice among lunchtime visitors. I highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a tableside grill. Accompanied by veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste scrumptious, but being able prepare 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 selections on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just 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 decoration and lighting of the restaurant has a very zen-like feel. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable high back chairs and subtle decorations have a sedating affect and allows 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 Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
