The Space
The modern interior and huge windows looking out on the slopes of Squaw Valley allow for interesting views from any vantage point. Diners have a choice of getting up close and personal with their sushi chef at the sushi bar, being served at a table in the dining room, or grabbing a stool at the bar in front and watching the crowds stroll by in the Village.
 The Food
Be prepared for a difficult decision as there is a lot of variety. Numerous rolls with sauces designed just for them as well as a large selection of appetizers, tapas style, veggie items and rice and noodle bowls. Can’t decide? Go with a party platter.
The Drinks
What goes better with sushi and Japanese specialties than sake and beer? Mamasake has got a great selection of both, including hot and cold sakes and domestic and imported brews.
Gotta Try
Craving variety? Share a chefs’ special sashimi with a friend and sample a selection of fish with unique preparations.
