$10 for $20 Worth of Japanese and Korean Food

The menu includes items such as shrimp tempura sushi rolls ($8.95), vegetable yakisoba ($9.95), Korean bulgogi ($13.95), and hibachi shrimp ($15.95).

As a blanket term, sushi is often used to refer to any of the three traditional styles of serving raw fish. Know the difference with Groupon's breakdown of Japan's greatest culinary art.

Sushi, Sashimi, Nigiri, Maki: Japan’s Diverse Delicacies

The thing that makes sushi sushi isn’t raw fish; it’s shari—rice infused with vinegar for added flavor. Often taken for granted, good shari can be the true test of an expert sushi chef: to mold the bite-size blocks (or fingers) of shari, dexterous hands must apply just the right amount of pressure, convincing the grains to cling together without squashing them into hot snowballs. However, not everything on a sushi restaurant’s menu is served with shari, and the dishes that are served with it aren’t all the same. Here’s how to tell them apart:

Sashimi: Technically not sushi proper, sashimi is simply thin slices of raw, high-quality (or sashimi-grade) fish—such as salmon, yellowtail, or fatty tuna—served without the rice. Chefs often layer the slices on a bed of garnishes (collectively called tsuma) such as sprouts, baby cucumbers, or even ice cubes, though they may sometimes arrange the sashimi to mimic a blooming flower.

Nigiri: When shari is added to the equation, sashimi becomes nigiri—bite-size morsels of raw fish served atop fingers of shari and often secured with a thin band of crisp seaweed. Nigiri is often paired with two condiments: wasabi paste (much like horseradish) for an added kick and slices of vinegared ginger for cleansing your palate between bites.

Maki: By far the most common form of sushi, maki is the familiar assortment of fresh ingredients rolled into delicately sliced cylinders. First, chefs layer shari, fish, and veggies over a sheet of seaweed. They then roll it together with a bamboo mat before cutting it into segments—usually six—for a table to share. Popular varieties of maki include the crab-anchored california roll and the philadelphia roll, a Western concoction of smoked salmon and cream cheese, though the motley nature of maki allows for a virtually limitless array of flavors and combinations.

Tomo

The fare in an average lunch box is typically nothing to get very excited about, as it usually consists of convenient foods such as leftovers or crumbs found in between the couch cushions. But Tomo's bento boxes break the mold and eschew the cartoon characters, too. In each box, the chef pairs the sushi or sashimi of the day with gyoza, inari—fried tofu—barbecue beef, or tempura. Boxes are complemented by orders of baked mussels, fried chicken wings, and mushrooms stuffed with spicy tuna.

The Groupon Guide to: Email Viruses

One of the great risks of traveling the computer highway is contracting the computer virus. If you receive an email with a suspicious link, read this now:

  • Click on the link. If it takes you to a site that boasts Miracle Weight Loss Chowder or Grow Hair Everywhere Even Inside and Never Wonder Why, this is probably not a virus, just a helpful suggestion from a concerned friend.

  • If it is a virus, email the person who sent it to you. Ask if they meant to spam you. Chances are they were actually trying to get rid of a virus by sending it to trash@garbagemail.net and just typed your name by accident.

  • Turn on your computer's spam-blocking filter. This will automatically get rid of any email that isn't from a blood relative, parole officer, or shoe website with wonderful sale prices.

  • Get offline for a while. The best way to escape from a computer virus is to unplug, disconnect, and spend a few weeks shouting your feelings at neighbors instead of pouring them into an uncaring, soulless social network.

Where do my feelings go when I send them to trash@garbagemail.net? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.

  • I finally switched to have vegetable curry last week and was amazing. The ambiance is great, they are fast and typically the service is helpful.
