Authentic Japanese Food August 1, 2009
Melbourne has some exceptional hospitality service and has some amazing places to wine and dine. Having lived here for more than 6 years, I have been lucky enough to have tasted some of the top-quality dishes from a variety of culinary arts offered by restaurants in Melbourne.
I have been a great fan of Japanese food and culinary art for a long time. Since living in Melbourne, I have dined in many japanese restaurants and have tasted many dishes that they have to offer. Some good and some bad, I can frequently tell if the food is good by the people operating the restaurant. I have established my own presumption that if the restaurant is ran and operated by Japanese, the food that it serves is dependable.
There are many other Japanese cuisine franchises in Melbourne which are not owned and operated by Japanese. The level of service and quality of food that it creates are just astonishing. Yes, the price will be much more affordable but the authenticity of the taste and the level of service that you are receiving is bad. If you are serious about Japanese food, take the time to explore and ask around. You will often find that there is a Japanese restaurant just around the corner from you that you have not noticed.
I find myself visiting this particular restaurant in Melbourne more often these days ? Takumi. They is located conveniently in the city and is accessible by public transportation. They specialized in wagyu beef and modern Japanese cuisines. They are fully owned and operated by a Japanese family and the level of service that they have provided me is great. They offer a different style of barbeque dishes with their modern smoke-free bbq tables.
So, if you are visiting Australia, be sure to take the time to explore and visit the many Melbourne Japanese restaurant.
