Takumi-Tei, a new signature table-service restaurant located in Japan in the World Showcase at Epcot, is now open! The new restaurant is a unique place to have an upscale dining experience with a unique atmosphere.
Takumi-Tei is a dining experience providing a look into the Japanese culture from the moment you walk in to the moment you put down your chopsticks. The menu includes a prix fixe multi-course tasting menu and a chef’s table experience. The menu includes wagyu bee, sushi, sashimi, unique desserts, signature cocktails, premium sake and much more.
Appetizers include items like Teien featuring compressed watermelon and tuna sashimi, Nikomi Wagyu - abraised wagyu short rib with roasted bone marrow, or Hama no Kani featuring crab tossed in a light ponzu sauce along with toasted crab. For a vegetarian option, you can try the Agedashi Tofu with fried silken tofu, brown butter black rice and shimeji mushroom.
Entrées include unique dishes like Kamo Rosu and Takumi Gyuniku. The Kamo Rosu features roasted marinated duck with kabocha squash, edamame beans, Japanese mizuna, cured duck egg yolk, and a grape reduction. The Takumi Gyuniku includes the infamous Japanese A-5 wagyu beef tenderloin with leek sauce, warishita, short rib gyoza, roast cippolini onion, curried potato, and seasonal mushroom.
For all the sushi and sashimi lovers, there are some delicious and absolutely beautiful options. On the Maki Sushi menu, you’ll find Mozaiku featuring tuna, yellowtail and asparagus. If you're feeling adventurous try the Temari Sushi featuring a chef-selected assortment of oceanic delicacies. Or if sashimi is more your style, the Takumi Sashimi entrée features tuna, toro, salmon, yellowtail, uni and ikura.
There are two choices for dessert including Kumo - a yuzu cheesecake, spiced kabocha, orange yuzu gel and blackberry sake or Suiren Dani - a Water Lilly Valley featuring Japanese water cake, rose, kuromitsu and kinako crumb.
