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 serves 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. . Many people 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 smokeless grill. Companioned by veggies and a complimentary glass of beer or wine. Not only does this taste delicious, 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 Japanese delicacy it has to offer. Frequent lunch patrons also enjoy the bento box. The restaurant offers a few choices 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. One is definitely not enough. 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 offers a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable high back 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 great Japanese restaurant. From their delicious menu offerings, to the many different Sake choices, this Melbourne Japanese restaurant is number one on my book.
