In a recent newsletter + on Instagram, we asked, “What are you thankful for this year? Today, we’re sharing those answers and how you can get in on the local gratitude.

“Our amazing community that we get to serve our traditional and unique Japanese cuisine too!” — @omakaselex

Many of you mentioned that you are thankful for us, so excuse us while we cry tears of joy. Without our dedicated readers, followers, small businesses + local creatives, we wouldn’t be here. We’re grateful for Y-O-U.
