If you’re looking for a new and unique place to dine
this summer, then I have some exciting news for you: Takumi-Tei is
officially open at Epcot! Located in World Showcase, the new
signature table-service restaurant is the latest addition to the
Japan pavilion. Here you will enjoy an upscale dining experience
with exceptional and specialized service tailored to the unique
atmosphere this restaurant provides. The entire Takumi-Tei experience is focused on giving you a better understanding of Japanese culture, as explained to you by the Japanese cultural representatives. From the moment you walk in to the moment you put down your chopsticks for the last time, you will feel as if you’ve been transported to the island nation and will learn about Japanese traditions and their connection to the natural world. In addition to an incredible prix fixe multi-course tasting menu and a chef’s table experience, the dinner menu highlights wagyu beef in a sublime setting along with sushi, sashimi, unique desserts, signature cocktails, premium sake and much more. |

|
| Start your meal with appetizers like Teien (meaning “garden” and featuring compressed watermelon and tuna sashimi), Nikomi Wagyu (braised wagyu short rib with roasted bone marrow), or Hama no Kani (“Crab on the Beach” featuring crab tossed in a light ponzu sauce as well whole toasted crab). For a vegetarian option, you can dine on the Agedashi Tofu with fried silken tofu, brown butter black rice and shimeji mushroom. |
|
|
| Entrées include exquisite 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, or artisan beef, shines the spotlight on a Japanese A-5 wagyu beef tenderloin with leek sauce, warishita, short rib gyoza, roast cippolini onion, curried potato, and seasonal mushroom. |
|
|
| For the sushi and sashimi lovers, there are some delicious options. On the Maki Sushi menu, you’ll find Mozaiku (featuring tuna, yellowtail and asparagus). You can also 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. |
|
|
| Of course, there’s always room for dessert! Two choice selections include Kumo (yuzu cheesecake, spiced kabocha, orange yuzu gel and blackberry sake) or Suiren Dani (Water Lilly Valley featuring Japanese water cake, rose, kuromitsu and kinako crumb). |
|
|
|
You will also find an extensive beverage menu with
premium sake, wine, beer and cocktails. Specialty cocktails are
themed to each of the five dining rooms and include Kochi (Joto Yuzu
citrus sake, rum, fresh mint, yuzu juice and orange), Raiju (Haku
Japanese vodka, spiced ginger beer and lime), Sakurajima (Japanese
whisky sour smoked with cherrywood), and Kami (Roku gin, Sayuri
“White Lilly” Nigori sake, calipco and lychee). As of today, Takumi-Tei is open for dinner in the Japan pavilion at Epcot starting at 4 p.m. daily.
