Named after an art technique to make impressions of fishermen’s prized catches, Taku Japanese restaurant on Burke Road in Camberwell is making its own impression on the local dining scene. The interior design uses traditional wood elements, combined with modern simple style to pay homage to Japanese culture with stunning murals on the walls and moody lighting, ideal for romantic rendezvous. Embark on your culinary journey with pan-fried scallops and sweet ginger soy, or salmon carpaccio and yuzu dressing; before miso-marinated black cod and seasonal vegetables, or deep-fried crumbed eel, with salad and Taku’s signature sauce. Those looking to graze opt for sushi offerings like lobster salad and seared salmon, or tuna California rolls, with avocado, cucumber, miso sauce and crunchy flakes.
