Mamasake, the hip, popular Squaw Valley eatery located at Fountain Court in the heart of the Village at Squaw Valley, is known for its daily $5 happy hour special “Beer and a Hand Roll.” They also offers a fantastic sushi menu and a large variety of beers on tap as well as 15 different types of sake, and innovative sake cocktails. Serving modern and traditional sushi, sashimi, and hand rolls, nigri, and cold and cooked tapas. This is a popular spot for local’s and visitors alike.
The restaurant’s annual spring competition consists of two categories. The sushi-eating contest pits the contestant against the clock and a lot of sushi. The competitor who devours the most handrolls within five minutes running time claims the top podium.
During the wasabi eating event competitors go head to head chewing increasing amounts of wasabi until a winner has left his opponent crying in their sake.
Celebrity judges have not been announced yet but usually consist of very notable Ski, and Snowboard personalities add to the festivities.
