Japanese Cuisine in Australia
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Melbourne, Australia has some extraordinary hospitality service and has some fantastic places to wine and dine. I have migrated here for more than 6 years, I have been fortunate enough to have sampled some of the nicest dishes from diverse cuisines offered by eateries in Melbourne.
Taking an interest in the Japanese culture, I have always enjoyed Japanese food. Since living in Melbourne, I have tried many japanese eateries and have tasted numerous dishes that they have to offer. Some good and some bad, I can often tell if the food is good by the people running the restaurant. I have established a good presumption that if the eatery is ran and worked by Japanese, the food that it makes is genuine.
There are numerous Japanese cuisine franchises in Melbourne which are not owned and operated by Japanese. The level of service and quality of food that it creates is questionable. Yes, the price will be much more inexpensive but the legitimacy of the taste and the level of service that you are getting is bad. If you are serious about Japanese food, take the time to research and inquire 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 based conveniently in the city and is accessible by public transportation. They specialise 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 marvelous. They offer a different style of bbq dishes with their advanced 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.
