The carefully rolled nature of sushi makes it ideal for starting snowballs, which is why it's commonly known as "snowman heart." Eat to the center of snow with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Japanese cuisine and drinks at Woomi Garden in Wheaton. This Groupon is not valid for Korean barbecue.

Woomi Garden's expansive menu teems with authentic and fresh Japanese entrees and schools of sushi. Net a banquet from beneath the waves with an appetizer of lightly battered and fried soft-shell crab ($10.25), followed by a dive into special sushi rolls, such as the Rock 'n' Roll, a mouthwatering medley of fresh tuna, eel, flying-fish roe, and crab that sings Elton John songs ($13.95). Jaws begin courting a plate of unagi donburi, broiled eel on a bed of rice ($16.75), and customers use its latent electricity to charge cell phones. Meat dishes fill bellies with specialties such as tonkatsu, a breaded pork cutlet in tangy sauce ($20.75), and the vegetable tempura entree adds a pleasing crunch to fruits of the earth ($16.75).
