Chef Takashi reaches out to Makati workers with his 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0branch.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Takashi Japanese Cuisine Makati is as authentic as a Japanese restaurant experience as you can get. Chef Takashi takes his cue from traditional restaurants you\u2019d see in Japan and gives it his own twist. What he comes up with is something that has the look and feels of a Japanese restaurant yet is not alienating for Filipinos who just want to dine on Japanese cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29804 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/01\/takashi-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>ALL JAPANESE. It\u2019s as close to Japanese as you can get.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Most of the dishes from his Kapitolyo branch have made the trip. Chef Takashi, however, has a few surprises in store for Filipinos looking to dine at this branch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Filipinos who come in and expect a full Japanese experience will not be disappointed (or anyone else for that matter). The menu is as authentic as it gets, with a couple of tweaks the chef put in. Spam is featured in three appetizers: gyoza, musubi, and maki. Chicken skin, a popular street food, is fried Japanese style, known as\u00a0<em>karaage.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4660\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/01\/IMG_0792.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0792\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>CHICKEN SKIN KARAAGE. Quite possibly the best chicken skin you\u2019ll have.

He also said the Spicy Karaage Ramen (Php 295) is sure to be a hit, especially with Filipino diners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4656\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/01\/Picture2-2-1024x337.jpg\" alt=\"Picture2\" width=\"850\" height=\"280\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>JAPANESE GOODNESS.

Bento solves this by giving diners an option to have their meal to-go or for delivery (yes, Takashi Japanese Cuisine in Makati delivers).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4658\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/01\/IMG_0811.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0811\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>A JAPANESE STAPLE.
