If you are in the mood for a culinary masterpiece, then you should pay a visit to Takumi. This Melbourne Japanese restaurant is the best of its kind. Not only is the food top notch, but the design of the restaurant produces a relaxing and enjoyable ambience.

Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be tremendous. Wagyu is a premium grade cut of beef that is second to none. The meat is so tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. Being an expert in Wagyu, this beef is offered in many dishes in the restaurant. Many customers enjoy it as a burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce. I highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a charcoal grill. Accompanied by salad and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavoursome, but being able to see it prepared 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. Frequent lunch visitors also love the bento box. Takumi offers several selections on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese entree is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are extremely good and addictive. You cannot stop at one. If you are in an adventurous mood, give the Unagi bento Box a try. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.

The decor of the restaurant provides a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek tan chairs and subtle decorations have a calming 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 Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
