Once mastered, chopsticks are the most manageable eating utensils, unlike forks, which get mangled in the dishwasher, or fingers, which get lost in the mouths of teething sock puppets. Eat easily with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of authentic Japanese cuisine at Fuji Mountain.

Fuji Mountain fills bellies with a flavorful menu of authentic Japanese cuisine. A choice of udon or soba noodles gives substance to warming soup bowls such as the beef-, ginger-, and vegetable-laden yaki ($13), which can supplement an order of sushi or sashimi. Cooked entrees silence stomachs' dramatic monologues with miso-glazed ahi tuna ($19) and vegetable teriyaki ($18), both of which arrive flanked by bowls of miso soup and ginger salad. Freshly plucked fruits of the sea include scallop teriyaki ($23) and organic grilled salmon steak ($22). Fuji Mountain maintains three karaoke rooms, located on the fourth floor of the restaurant, which guests can rent for private parties or memorable Senate confirmation hearings for an additional fee.
