Boozt is thrilled to announce our sincerest gratitude to Tokyo Tokyo for their generous sponsorship of Boozt’s booth for Cosplay Matsuri 2022 which took place from December 28th to 30th, 2022 at the SMX Convention Center.

As one of the major sponsors of the event, Boozt couldn’t have pulled off such a fantastic booth without the support of Tokyo Tokyo - a brand that has been serving high-quality Japanese food for over 30 years, bringing Japan closer to Filipinos. Over the years, Tokyo Tokyo has firmly made its mark as the pioneer and #1 Japanese restaurant in the country, giving its customers a memorable and satisfying Japanese dining experience. Their mission is to make everyone experience a taste of Japan, and they continue to strive to provide customers with high-quality Japanese dishes. With more than 80 stores nationwide, they aim to make Japanese food accessible to everyone.

As part of their sponsorship, Tokyo Tokyo provided 15,000 pesos worth of gift checks (GCs) which were distributed to more than a hundred attendees of the event. These gift checks provided an opportunity for fans to experience the delicious taste of Tokyo Tokyo’s food, which is a unique blend of Japanese flavors and influences.

To add to the excitement of the event, Boozt also launched its “Boozt Choice Award” which it sought the people with the best cosplay on the third day of Cosplay Matsuri. Boozt gave Tokyo Tokyo GCs accordingly to the top 3 winners of the award. As an icebreaker, as well, Boozt also introduced a “Bring me!” game during the program, where the winners were also given Tokyo Tokyo GCs.

One of the winners, Pietro Monreal, cosplayed as White Blood Cell, one of the main protagonists in the manga series “Cells at Work” and said in his Facebook post: “TYL!!! Truly grateful to be picked as one of the best cosplays during Cosplay Matsuri Day 3. This is actually my first time to win anything in the cosplay arena 😅, so this is an achievement I will always cherish. Thank you so much Boozt for choosing me and for giving these wonderful prizes. More blessings and success to you this year as well.”

Among the other winners of the Boozt choice award, are Leo Jennyl Duque as Draken from Tokyo Revengers and the duo, Kimberly L. Cañeda and Therizamylle Lopena of Otaku Rush PH as Barbarians from Diablo 3.

The event was a huge success, with thousands of cosplay enthusiasts flocking to the SMX Convention Center to showcase their costumes and celebrate their passion for cosplay. The Cosplay Matsuri 2022 was a platform for fans to connect with one another and a chance to meet and interact with their favorite cosplay celebrities. The event also provided a wide range of activities, from cosplay competitions, and meet-and-greet sessions, to a variety of food and merchandise vendors.

We at Boozt would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Tokyo Tokyo for their support and for being a valued partner in making Cosplay Matsuri 2022 a memorable event for all. We look forward to working together again in the future and building a lasting relationship.
