Mamasake Sushi and Wasabi Eating Nationals

Get raw at Squaw during the Mamasake Sushi and Wasabi Eating Nationals   

Squaw Valley is known worldwide as a bastion of athletic extremism. On Sunday, April 20th, extremists of another sort showcase their talents at the Mamasake Sushi and Wasabi Eating Nationals.

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."

The restaurantıs 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, giveaways and Master of Ceremony J.D. Hoss add to the festivities.

The event starts at 4:20 p.m. on the Mamasake patio. Registration begins at 3:30 p.m. Entries are limited in each category. Prizes are awarded to finalists. The public is invited to attend this eye-watering competition. All ages are welcome. Libations and food are available, including an all-day $5 beer and hand roll and other specials.

The Mamasake Sushi and Wasabi Eating Nationals is sponsored by Snowbomb.com, Mamasake, The Village at Squaw Valley, Snowbomb.com, Sake2me, Squaw Valley Ski Corp, and Snowtribe Productions.

Mamasake opens daily at 12 p.m. For more information call Mamasake at (530) 584-0110.
