Takumi Japanese BBQ restaurant in the city is freaking awesome! And would be a great place to start a night out. Check out the menu, seriously, wagyu beef, saki, BBQ! HELL YEA!

 

[yoshimitsu9]

oooohhhh i do like the sound of that!

 

[jet150]

I'll be in for anything, just organise it.

 

[BuzzPuppy]

I'm definitely in for the event. The only Saturday I can't do is 20th Nov since that's when my work Christmas party is on.

An event with the people minus the cars. Hell yeah.

But the again... Legnums make great crash space to snooze in.

 

[snickells]

Yea, a Saturday night please.

 

[yoshimitsu9]

what are peoples thoughts on either saturday the 11th or 18th of december? going to takumi japanese bbq

 

[snickells]

Im happy with either, and if it's only the three of us! lol

 

[PeteGT]

I'm in for this, but definitely out for the weekend of the 11th. Any other I'm free.

 

[jet150]

Are there any Jap joints that have sexy naked chicks for tables? Yum.

if this was facebook, i would be liking Robs comment above.
japanese sounds awesome, i will need someone to convince me to eat japanese though as i have never had it before lol

It's not just all about sushi and sashimi, if that helps

Good flavours, good ingredients go a long way.

It traditionally starts with a small serve of miso soup, a medium-bodied, slightly salty broth, and can very from yakitori chicken (BBQ'd on skewers, a sweet soy style), ramen (wheat-egg style) or udon (rice-type) noodles similar to a Vietnamese pho noodle soup if you like, gyoza dumplings (pan fried normally, and this style is quite common around Asia such as Nepalese momo dumplings or the Shanghai Chinese style dumplings). Definitely a kind of sit-down dinner where you order a number of mains and pick/choose as you go

That being said, my favourite style of sushi is unagi. Sometimes I call ahead and ask if they have it on the menu

It's the same with an Indian place... if they have the goat curry, I'll order it since it's freakin' brilliant for flavour and not often on the menu

No no no no, sorry Gav, this isnt that type of Japanese eaterie man. They have actual hot coal bbq grills in the middle of the table and you cook fresh meats on it to your liking! It's FUCKING amazing, especially the ox tongue... omg, drooling just thinking about all the dipping sauces and all the other yummie food they have.

SET B $70 (per person)
Edamame (boiled soy bean)
Kimuchi (Korean style pickled vegetable)
Signature dishes
Takumiʼs special
Salmon carpaccio
Seafoods and 3 wagyu premium beef cuts for grille
Abalone and scallops
Jo-Karubi (Rib eye cap) 50g
(David Blackmore-marble score 9+)
Jo tan (premium ox tongue) 50g
Jo rosu (premium porterhouse) 50g
Seasonal cut vegetables
Miso soup, steamed rice
Ice cream & pudding

Please tell me it's THIS type of Japanese eatery;

 

[snickells]

Sorta, you cook it yourself though.

smitty scoped out my place last night (to take a break from the rain and concreting!)...

...it does have possibilities.

 

[yoshimitsu9]

that could be a good idea gav,

or could have a bbq at my place in blackburn then train it into the city to go get smashed

ill talk to my olds tomorrow and see what they reckon. i dont think theyd care too much if we were at our house for a few hours prior to going out

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Got enough street space for a tonne of cars?

 

[ZEUSvsHADES]

i live in a renovated factory with pleanty of room and its pretty nice...we have like a 30 car carpark across the road, and all sorts of stuff. accept i live in seaford.
im glad japanese isnt all sushi, as i didnt like it last time i tried

 

[jet150]

Whatever we are doing it needs to be set soon.

A BBQ at someones place sounds good to, but if we do Japanese we need to get numbers and book.
