On 23 July, Newport World Resorts hosted a memorable enkai at Yawaragi Restaurant, Hotel Okura Manila. Rooted in the Japanese tradition of enkai — a term that means “banquet,” “feast,” or “party” — the event was a vibrant evening dedicated to fostering relationships, celebrating partnerships and sharing a world-class dining experience.
The evening brought together a distinguished group of guests from various industries and sectors to celebrate and cultivate the spirit of collaboration and unity. Guests enjoyed the gastronomic spread of Japanese cuisine, reflecting the sophistication and hospitality that Yawaragi is known for. Adding excitement to the evening was a lively raffle, where lucky winners brought home special prizes, enhancing the festive atmosphere.
Newport World Resorts successfully created an experience that honored cultural appreciation, professional connection and shared celebration. Enkai is a reminder of meaningful partnerships built through business, shared moments and genuine human interaction. A testament to the power of bringing people together.
