An enticing new Japanese menu awaits at Taki Taki

There’s no denying the growing popularity of Japanese food in India. So much so, that speciality Japanese restaurants in the country have done their best to capture the authentic flavours of Japan, with only a few succeeding. One such restaurant is Taki Taki in Mumbai. 

The restaurant recently launched its new Omakase menu, which is a bold reimagining of traditional Japanese cuisine. The menu, created by chef Bobby Recto, is a fusion of tradition and modernity; it is inspired by the chef's illustrious culinary career spanning six vibrant countries. His expertise shines through in every aspect of the dining experience, right from the bold new flavours to the exquisite presentation.

The new Omakase menu boasts a wide variety of Japanese food choices from gourmet nigiri to curated sashimi and oriental Asian wok. But that's not all. They keep it real with classic offerings like fresh cuts of tuna, salmon, and even octopus served along with staples like rice and noodles, which bring a taste of Japan straight to your plate. And let's not forget about their dim sum and bao lineup which is like a party in your mouth! 

We knew we were in for a treat the moment we laid eyes on the gold digger sushi dish doused in edible golden dust. Every bite is a delightful symphony of flavours, textures, and aromas, an experience that transcends mere sustenance and becomes a culinary adventure to Japan. 

If you're an avid sushi fan, you have to try the ‘Victoria’s Secret sushi roll’, it's a heavenly blend of tuna and salmon that is sure to blow your mind. And if you're more of a crab aficionado, then the California explosion roll is a delicious choice. Best described, it’s an explosion of flavour with a mix of crab strings and spiced herbs. Vegetarians can try out the Onna Bugeisha which is a 16-piece sushi dish with four kinds of artisan rolls. And while the sushi is delightful, let's not forget the tantalising new dim sum selection like the ‘xo pork dim sum’ or the ‘green vegetable & cheese’. But if you're looking for something extra special, the Kotsuzumi lamb loin is sure to leave you satisfied.  

If you love cocktails, then you have to try the new cocktail menu at Taki Taki, especially if you’re the adventurous kind. Featuring a selection of Japanese-first spirits, the cocktails include some delicious and inventive concoctions like the 'sushi in a glass', a vodka drink with fat-washed salmon and sushi rice, yes you heard it right. But if you are looking to add some excitement to your evening try the in-house 'taki & tonic', a gin-based cocktail.

No meal is complete without dessert, after all, there's always room for a sweet indulgence. The signature molten which is a hot yuzu-flavoured lava cake and tres leches are a heavenly treat and a perfect way to end your meal.

From the moment you step into Taki Taki, the mesmerising red and golden ambience will set the stage for a wholesome dining experience. And once you take that first bite, you'll understand why there's so much to try at Taki Taki. From their expertly crafted sushi rolls to their flavourful mains and everything in between, each dish is a delight that promises to take your taste buds on a joy ride and leave you craving more. So whether you're a sushi lover, an Asian cuisine enthusiast, or just on the hunt for some delicious food, Taki Taki has got you covered.
