Like the Burning Man festival, Japanese cuisine relies on simple components and skilled hands to create art that is demolished after worship. Consume reverently with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of sushi and hibachi cuisine at Shogun Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar. Today's Groupon is valid only at the Pearland location.

The kitchen magicians at Shogun Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar conjure up sizzling meals tableside, bringing to life a classic Japanese menu with an exciting show of live cooking. In dramatic bursts of flame, the teppanyaki griddle covers blushing cuts of sirloin ($17.95) with fiery kisses that seal in juices and burn away the painful memories from surf 'n' turf breakups. The banzai dinner's blend of steak, chicken, and shrimp ($26.95) appeases a combination of taste buds. Hands strategically pack bento boxes ($14.95–$22.95) with poultry, beef, or seafood alongside a cornucopia of Japanese savories to cure imbalanced appetites with culinary feng shui. More than 20 elegant sushi rolls await creation, including the sakura roll ($8.95), which thrills taste buds with spicy tuna and creamy avocado.

Geometric paneling and wood inlay over shining fabric invoke a traditional Japanese atmosphere for diners, who gather around broad tables where griddles create a shining, interactive centerpiece for cooking and scallop shuffleboard.
