[ SUPPORT UMEDA RESTAURANT BY DONATION] -- Thank you in advance for your attention. Three years ago, Takuya Umeda turned his dream into reality when he opened the doors to his first restaurant, UMEDA, a traditional Japanese restaurant with a modern twist located on the iconic Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, CA.... We have worked tirelessly to make our beloved restaurant a success and serve our community with unique Japanese cuisine, but then the COVID-19 pandemic brought our momentum to an abrupt stop. It has been incredibly difficult to close the business for nearly two months, but just as we were beginning to prepare to reopen our business, tragedy struck once again. After the horrific event of George Floyd’s death, some of the subsequent protests turned violent and our restaurant was looted. It has been an impossibly tough time for our small, locally owned restaurant, so we’ve decided to reach out to our community and ask for help. Currently, we are aiming to raise $10,000 to help us through this difficult time and get our beautiful restaurant back on its feet and continue. If you’re able, please consider donating any amount to help us so we can continue serving this community, and please help us spread the word by sharing every little bit helps. Thank you so much for your time and your help. We hope to serve you again very very soon!
