Since humans are mostly made of water, and fish traditionally inhabit water, fish should naturally occur in the human body. Fix this gap in nature’s logic with today’s deal: for $20, you get $40 worth of sushi, sake, and more at Yuki Sushi. Your Groupon is only valid at the Willow Glen location on Lincoln Avenue.

The family-owned and family-operated sushi shop has been slinging high-quality fish into the mouths of omega-3-craving San Joseans at their new location in Willow Glen since 2009. Traditional and creative concoctions inhabit the extensive lunch and dinner menus. Starters such as the ika kara-age, with its tender, fried Monterey calamari and balsamic soy sauce ($5.25), offer a pleasing beginning to any meal. Redeem your Groupon Tuesday–Thursday for a complimentary edamame appetizer. The Sushi combination dinner ($16.25), which includes one entree plus your choice of two rolls (choose from California, tekka, and kappa), makes a perfect base to absorb any of Yuki Sushi's sakes. A bountiful selection of bento combos are available. Noodle lovers will slurp sublimely from their selection of udons and sobas, and herbivores can peruse the fish-free vegetarian entrees for a selection of palate pleasers. For those preferring a dash of color in their carbs, brown rice is also available.

The eatery's floor-to-ceiling front windows reveal a sleek interior. On busy nights, don't bother interrupting your live reading of Tender Buttons if you fear you might have to wait for a table; simply call ahead to get your party of four or less on the restaurant's waitlist. Reservations are strongly recommended for parties of five or more on a Friday or Saturday.

More than 75 Yelpers give Yuki Sushi 3.5 stars, praising its delectable concoctions but bemoaning the sometimes-lengthy wait times.

• Be prepared to wait any night of the week...Order any of their special rolls (Tsunami, Cowboy, New Zealand, Hawaiian) and you'll be eating with a smile. – Jeannette Z.
• Try the chef specials ( Cowboy roll, the Hawaiian roll, Tsunami, Red Dragon roll, etc).. All great...Place is a little tight during lunch but otherwise it met expectations. – mark i.
