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 of great quality, but the location and design of the restaurant creates a relaxing and pleasant ambience.

Being the only Japanese restaurant in Melbourne that serves Wagyu beef, you can rest assure that it will be tremendous. Wagyu is a top grade cut of beef that is second to none. It is tender and juicy it melts in your mouth. This beef is the main ingredient in many dishes offered in the restaurant. 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. It is also served with veggies 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. The bento box is also a famous lunch option among regular visitors. Takumi offers a few selections on the main entree for the bento box. A popular Japanese dish is Gyoza. These pan fried dumplings are super good and addictive. I promise you cannot eat just one. If you are a seafood fan, try the Unagi Bento Box. Unagi is smoked grilled eel and is a very popular and delicious Japanese restaurant dish.

The decoration of the restaurant offers a very zen-like feeling. You will feel right at home when dining here. The sleek and comfortable tan 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 a restaurant 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.
