SUNDANCE, Utah — If you’re a foodie (or just a fan of delectable eats), you won’t want to miss the arrival of Takibi. This award-winning Japanese restaurant from Portland is popping up at the Sundance Mountain Resort from June 16-25.

The Takibi pop-up will be held at the Owl Bar, where diners can enjoy a selection of Takibi Executive Chef Cody Auger’s most popular dishes, including the albacore warayaki with tosazu, ginger, and negi; chicken karaage with shio koji and lemon; black cod, charcoal grilled with chickpea miso; saba shioyaki, grilled mackerel with lemon and daikon oroshi; and tofu donuts.

In addition to Takibi’s mouth-watering menu, Bar Manager Alexandra Anderson brings some serious mixologist skills to the table. Her creations feature ingredients from Utah and Japan; Anderson will be bartending during opening weekend.

This collaboration ignites the senses on all levels, and we look forward to featuring Takibi in the Tree Room.”
