Yesterday, I, along with my fellow Davao Bloggers, were invited to attend the Davao Store opening of Tokyo Tokyo at SM Lanang Premiere; the first branch of the store outside Metro Manila. I’ve heard about Tokyo Tokyo for as long as I can remember, but I never got around to try it because I’m never in Manila. I was surprised to know that the store has been around for 30 years already and yet it was their first time to venture outside the corners of Manila. Thank goodness they chose Davao City to be their first home in Vis-Min.

“As we officially open the doors of Tokyo Tokyo in the heart of Davao, we hope to open a whole new dining experience for all Davaoeños – one of quality, affordable and delicious Japanese cuisine. We’re very happy to be opening not only the first branch to be built outside of Luzon, but also the beginning of our long-awaited expansion plans in the VisMin Region,” said Tokyo Tokyo’s Marketing Manager Joan Pamplona.

The management of Tokyo Tokyo treated their guests to some of their best-sellers such as:

Chicken Teriyaki

Beef Misono

California Maki

Prawn Tempura

Predictably my personal fave! Whenever I dine at Japanese restaurants, prawn tempura is the first thing I look for.
