T2 Diamond is a high-level tournament in which only top 16 players in the world 
ranking take part. It draws close attention because players can get more points 
necessary to take part in Olympic games, and global top players, including 
Chinese, join the competition. Kasumi Ishikawa of Japan, under contract with 
ZEN-NOH and 8th in the world ranking, also participates.

ZEN-NOH supports the tournament by providing Japanese foods, including omusubi 
(rice balls) and Inari-zushi (vinegared rice balls wrapped in fried bean curd) 
made from Japanese rice, in lounges for players, official guests and VIPs.

cooperation with "Gyu-Kaku" and "TEPPEI SYOKUDO" which operate restaurants in 
Singapore. Contents of the campaign are as follows.
