July 15, 2020

Located in the luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, Sakaba is the newest hot spot for a sophisticated dining experience in Beaver Creek, Colorado. This contemporary sushi lounge is the perfect upscale restaurant to host your rehearsal dinner. Let the incredible Chef Yoshikazu Kazu wow your taste buds with while you and your guests of honor sip on one-of-a-kind signature craft cocktails.

Sakaba, which means “bar” in Japanese, is an intimate sushi lounge serving traditional Japanese cuisine including all of your favorites from spicy tuna rolls and edamame to sashimi and a true Omakase experience (let the chef choose your order). Sakaba has a variety of fresh fish flown in daily from Japan setting it apart from any restaurant in nearby towns. We can assure you that your friends and family will never forget this evening!

Invite your guests to start the evening with a cocktail hour inside of Sakaba. Let guests choose from Sakaba’s extensive sake collection or Japanese beer selections, or work with the beverage team to serve a few swanky signature cocktails. From a smoked sage old fashioned made with Woodford Reserve (Hokkaido Old Fashioned) to a mojito flavored with green tea (Shochu Mojito), there is a drink for everyone!

After mingling, a few toasts and cocktails you and your guests can be seated outdoors on the heated terrace for a more casual affair or inside at a private table. The indoor atmosphere provides a nice intimate vibe from the dim lights and luxurious table setups. From there, let the Chef guide your taste buds to Japan while you share laughs, memories, and more with all of your closest friends and family. During dinner, guests can feel free to take a seat at the Chef’s counter and watch him work! It’s truly astonishing.

Be sure to save room for dessert because Sabaka has the most decadent items on the menu from soy ice cream to miso creme brulee. Finally, to end this unforgettable evening, sip on a nightcap or decaf coffee or head out outside to enjoy the after-hours cigar lounge.
