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. The food is top notch and the design and atmosphere 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 so tender and juicy, it can almost melt in your mouth. This beef is the main ingredient in many dishes offered in the restaurant. The Wagyu beef burger, grilled and marinated with Sukiyaki sauce is a favorite selection among lunchtime visitors. Personally, I recommend trying the Wagyu Yakiniku Lunch Set. The beef is served raw and is cooked on a smokeless grill. It is also served with vegetables and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste flavorsome, 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 delicacy it has to offer. Frequent lunch patrons also enjoy the bento box. The restaurant offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A common Japanese restaurant menu item is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are exceedingly good and addictive. You cannot stop at one. If you like something different, 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. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable tan chairs and subtle ornaments have a calming affect and lets you to feel like you are having a quiet meal at home, even though you are in the presence of other patrons.

Overall, Takumi is a wonderful Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different choices of Saki, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
