If you try something new, you might really enjoy it, even if it's filling balloons with Hot Wheels and throwing them off a bridge to see if they'll float. Try some Japanese fare with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of sushi fare at Z Sushi & Wine Bar in Missouri City.

Z Sushi & Wine Bar's chefs roll fresh seafood into sashimi and maki pieces. Seared garlic-tuna sashimi ($10) and Crazy maki rolls—spicy tuna and shrimp tempura wrapped in soybean paper with a ginger-sauce bow ($9)—repose in artful arrangements on plates. Create a personalized V.I.P. roll by picking ingredients such as salmon and avocado and adding spices and crunchy fillings ($15). The master chef then folds everything into sticky rice and seaweed using an issue of Boys' Life as a rolling mat. After the roll's creation, the staff takes a picture of you holding your new concoction and places it on the V.I.P. wall section. Although this Groupon is not valid for alcohol, Z Sushi does proffer an extensive wine list.
