Fish teach us that it's possible to swim upstream without passing out, and that the best response to a marriage proposal is to suck in your cheeks and pucker. Smack your lips on the ocean's love creatures with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of sushi and drinks at Sushi Kappo Tamura in Eastlake. Seasonal ingredients native to the Pacific Northwest compose the authentically prepared Japanese creations studded on Sushi Kappo Tamura's menu of sushi rolls, omakase, and sashimi. Seductively sip a Japanese-style shiso mojito made with locally distilled Batch 206 vodka, while demurely eyeing the extensive bill of fare ($8). A signature Rosanna roll, flowered with scallops, crab, tobiko, avocado, and mayonnaise ($6.50), complements a Seattle roll, stuffed, like a Presidents' Day stocking, with wild salmon, avocado, and cucumber ($6.50). A large variety of veggie rolls, such as the Super Yummy roll, brimming with a garden of spinach, shiitake, kanpyo gourd, avocado, pickled plum, and shiso leaf, sate the stomachs of herbivorian eaters ($7).
