Japanese Cuisine in Australia
Melbourne has some great hospitality service and has some fantastic places to wine and dine. Having lived here for more than 6 years, I have been fortunate enough to have sampled some of the nicest dishes from a variety of cuisines offered by restaurants in Melbourne.
Taking an interest in the Japanese culture, I have always enjoyed Japanese food. Since being in Melbourne, I have tried many japanese eateries and have tried numerous dishes that they have to offer. Some great and some bad, I can frequently tell if the food is good by the individuals running the restaurant. I have made a good assumption that if the restaurant is ran and controlled by Japanese, the food that it makes is dependable.
There are many Japanese cuisine franchises in Melbourne which are not owned and operated by Japanese. The level of service and quality of food that it produces is questionable. Yes, the price will be more inexpensive but the genuineness 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 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 dining in this particular restaurant in Melbourne more often these days ? Takumi. They is situated handily in the city and is accessible by public transportation. They differentiate themselves from the rest buy serving a fusion of modern japanese dishes with the main specialty of wagyu beef.. They are fully owned and operated by a Japanese family and the level of service that they have provided me is fantastic. They offer a different style of barbecue dishes with their advanced smoke-free barbecue tables.
So, if you are visiting Australia, be sure to take the time to explore and visit the many Melbourne Japanese restaurant.
