"Takumi" in Meguro, Tokyo is a Taiwanese restaurant where you can eat lunch for 500 yen. It's a shop with Taiwan Snacks.
The location is Kamiosaki intersection in front of the Garden Museum, which is located on Meguro-dori towards Shirokanedai from Meguro station. It is a place where the residential area and the office area meet, but there are a lot of office workers at lunchtime on weekdays. Dim sum is also popular, but the one-coin lunch is eye-catching. There are two types of rice, "Sanko rice" and "Red-cooked rice" that can be eaten for 500 yen (tax included, same below).
This time I ordered red-cooked rice. A dish of chicken and root vegetables stewed in soy sauce, entwined with thick bean paste and hung next to rice. The set comes with medicinal soup.
The saltiness of the medicinal soup is modest. However, it is often dashi and rich. The taste that permeates the belly with each scoop. I am grateful when I am weak at the turn of the season, and my feelings are relieved. The wolfberry fruit is colorful and fun for the eyes.
Medicinal soup is less salty but rich
Even if you taste it with a spoon at first, you will take the handle of the cup and drink it directly from the middle. When I'm a little calm, I'll start with rice.
Red-cooked rice is ankake rice. There is plenty of rice and rice. It contains chicken thighs, radishes, and carrots. A bite size that is easy to take with a spoon. When I put it in my mouth, the shape was solid, but the meat and vegetables were so tender that they quickly crumbled on my tongue.
It has a faint octagonal flavor, but the use of spices is very restrained, and the taste of meat and vegetables is well expressed, and there is something similar to Japanese food. It's a simple structure, but I'm very satisfied with it for 500 yen.

page But I'm also worried about Taiwanese dim sum!
However, I am also concerned about the Taiwanese dim sum that is being pushed at the store. I visited the store again on another day and asked for a 900 yen dim sum set this time.

Three dim sum, mini fried rice, cold duck meat, salad, and medicinal soup came out. Don't forget the almond tofu.
3 dim sum. All taste different
The three dim sums have different shrimp and bamboo shoots, and they have different textures and scents, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they will taste next each time I eat them.
Next is cold duck. It has a refreshing salty taste, but the cucumber on the tongue is entwined with a slightly sweet sauce. When eaten together, it has a refreshing aftertaste while having the delicious taste of meat.
Refreshing even if the meat tastes good
Mini fried rice is ordinary fried rice. I'm glad that the rice is crisp. There is plenty of soup, and you can take a break while drinking directly from the mug like tea.
Fried rice is ordinary fried rice
The dessert almond tofu is thick and rich. The texture seems to melt the tongue. There are many items, but the total amount is neither too large nor too small, and it is exactly one lunch.
It was a good shop, whether you want to inspire or lighten it. As of October 2018, Monday is a regular holiday for the time being.
