When the wonderful time comes to go, my first favorite place is the Teriyaki Restaurant. It is undeniable that Teriyaki is the best restaurant. I am so happy to introduce it. It is located in the campus near my class, I visit this restaurant 5 to 6 times per week. The first time when I visited, I instantly felt the great welcome and smelled the delicious food. It has beautiful decor and looks very fashionable. It has a whole wall made by glass so that sunlight could stream in the room. In addition, sofas replaced chairs so that we can sit very comfortable. To our satisfaction, they have a lot of foods supplied to us. Everyone can find the favorite food here. It also provides good services and waiters are kind hearted, they always keep smiling and ask me whether everything is ok when I am eating.

Third, recognize Food Composition. Before leaving for Japan, you should first learn about food ingredients commonly used by Japanese people.
