LAPOM Classic 3113
Saturdays 6-10pm, $25
LAPOM, which began in May 2016, is now celebrating its 10th anniversary.
In the beginning, everything was trial and error. But even so, many players gathered at LAPOM, and together we shared countless joyful moments and irreplaceable memories.
Ten years ago, the five of us had a dream: to make it easier for players in the U.S. to access Japanese mahjong information and purchase equipment, and to create the next step for those seeking to improve.
That dream slowly took shape—leading to the founding of Mahjong Stars, which supports the purchase of equipment, and the launch of Saikouisen USA, opening the path to becoming a professional. Through countless challenges and high hurdles, we overcame each one step by step. Today, the dream we once envisioned has become a reality.
And this year—
We will hold the AMOS FESTIVAL as the culmination of LAPOM’s 10-year journey. This festival is a tribute to everyone who has supported LAPOM. It is a shared achievement that we could never have reached on our own.
As part of this LAPOM Heritage Month, we will also be holding LAPOM Classic 3113.
This event is a time to relive and share the days when we were still learning how to run LAPOM—days filled with laughter, thrilling matches, and the sparkle of passionate players each week. Back then, the venue was smaller, the players fewer, and our operations clumsy. But what we had was pure—the desire to enjoy mahjong more deeply and the passion to grow alongside our friends.
LAPOM Classic 3113 brings us back to those roots, recreating the atmosphere of those early days.
So, let us move forward into the next decade—
Let’s feel that same excitement again—no, even greater excitement than before—together.
A new story begins, right here, right now.
