I am Yuka Sawano a local citizen from Melbourne, Australia. I am writing to inform you about a traditional restaurant called Miyagi downtown that I consider relevant for people to know. First of all, I went to a place that made me feel at home.

Firstly

, I went to the restaurant

last

week with my family for my mum's birthday dinner.

Then

, we had coarse meals with local Japanese ingredients.

Finally

, we were very impressed by the local food because vegetables were brought from my grandparent's town.

On the other hand

, if you are from Japan and you feel hungry and homesick,

this

place is a good option to cheer yourself up. There is a friendly customer service and inside the restaurant, there is a warm and emotional atmosphere.

Also

, food is given in high volume so if you cannot finish it, you can take it home. I would appreciate sharing

this

information with everyone in the newspaper and showing how great

this

place is. Sincerely, Yuka Sawano
