If you are in the mood for a culinary chef-d’oeuvre, then you should pay a visit to Takumi. 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. Wagyu is a premium grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is tender and juicy it melts 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 choice among lunchtime visitors. If you do not fancy having burgers, give the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set a try. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a smokeless grill. Accompanied by vegetables 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 delicacy it has to offer. The bento box is also a famous lunch option among regular visitors. Takumi offers a few options on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. One is certainly not enough. If you like something different, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.

The decoration and color schema 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 ornaments have a tranquillizing 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 wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Sake, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one in my book.
