Dining and Bars
The main restaurant is a large restaurant with an extensive range of buffet items and some cooked to order fare. The food is very impressive and very multi-cultural, so you'll need to ski or snowboard hard during the day if you want to sample all the food! Western food is available for the kids, and they have a baby corner with food and amenities for babies.
The Mina Mina Restaurant offers more traditional Hokkaido mountain food including Nabe hot pot and Hokkaido fondue (for an additional fee).
Club Med Sahoro has a bar and most alcoholic beverages are included in the package, so go for it!! There is even a dance floor (!) but keep your expectations for a raging nightlife pretty low as the main focus is the entertainment shows put on by the staff.
The bar offers a range of snacks throughout most of the day.
Why Stay at the Sahoro Club Med?
The Club Med Sahoro Hokkaido is fantastic if you want a holiday where you'll know how much the total package will cost. It provides good value if you want to take all the ski lessons and fully utilise the kids' facilities (and drink lots of alcohol!).
