Tokyo Tokyo has finally unveiled a new contempora­ry look and feel. “From its inception, Tokyo Tokyo has always been a pioneer in masterfull­y integratin­g traditiona­l and modern Japanese elements to create signature meals that satisfy the taste of every Filipino, elevating their dining experience­s to a whole new level,” said Natalie Perez, Tokyo Tokyo’s vice president for marketing.
