New Concept Japanese Restaurants
Takumi is a relatively new Melbourne Japanese restaurant serving new concept Japanese cuisines. Takumi officially opened for business in December 2008 and its unique offering is taking contemporary Japanese cuisine to new heights. If you want to grab a bite to eat with the experience of a little bit of heat on your table, this is the place to go. By heat on the table it is meant by each table has been fitted with its own charcoal grill. Yes that was not a typo each table has been equipped with its own charcoal fired grill.
The location of the restaurant is at the end of Bourke Street and it replaces the restaurant that was there before known as Water and Grass. You can instantly tell that it is a concept restaurant as soon as you walk in with the charcoal grills embeded in the tables. Takumi has developed a reputation as the ‘wagyu beef specialist’ offering the best cuts of wagyu beef. Diners can be their own chefs by grilling the best quality wagyu beef exactly to their taste on charcoal grills equipped on the table. Talk about hands on cooking and eating experience.
The restaurant is owned and operated by Japanese which proves a testament that the quality of food and service is top notch. But it is not only fancy style foods and cooking that Takumi Japanese restaurant offers there are also a wide choice quick fix menu choices such as wagyu burger which you can order and take with you. Some of the signature dishes of Takumi are salmon sashimi with onion sauce, Japanese soba salad, and wagyu tenderloin carpaccio. These and other unique dishes are what sets them apart from the rest of the japanese restaurants.
The restaurant’s interior is exceptionally spacious and very comfortable to enjoy a meal. If you are a connoisseur of food especially Japanese food and happen to be passing through Melbourne then your trip will not be complete until you have visited Melbourne?s own Takumi?s Japanese restaurant and enjoy the great ambience and fine wagyu beef.
