Though mad scientists recommend sticking chopsticks into electric sockets, rational scientists know the utensils are better used for electrifying sushi consumption. Today's Groupon gives you the right tools for authentic eats: for $24, you get $50 worth of modern Japanese cuisine at Rain Sushi, located in the Wallingford neighborhood. This Groupon is not valid for happy hour, which runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and all day Sunday and Monday.
Modern Japanese cuisine lovers will find a plethora of artfully served sushi, noodles, and seafood at Rain Sushi. Impatient tummies can start with Jimmy's rain drops ($8.50), a salmon-wrapped crab complemented with jalapeños and tobiko. From there, annihilate the craving for rice and shrimp with the Sasquatch roll ($10), served with avocado, tuna, and teriyaki sauce. Sushi traditionalists can stick to the California roll ($8), or choose "dare" and order the ultimate dragon roll ($15), a California roll topped with half an eel. Tempura maki options include the rock 'n' roll ($8), with crab, cream cheese, and avocado, so tasty it compels some diners to play long acid-jazz drum solos with their chopsticks. Once it's in down the hatch, bathe sushi in one of Rain's seven sakés, such as the chilled Asian-pear Momokawa ($6 for a glass).
Surrounded by modernist Japanese wall art, diners will nosh in style, knowing Rain's easygoing, savvy staff is on call to ease the process for any seaweed novice who can't tell sashimi from a Saskatchewan sausage.

Unhealthy Sushi to Roll With
If you say "That's just how we roll" one more time, you're fired.
