Japanese food is known for its vividly colourful presentation, which is why it is the envy of zebras, elephants and the cast of Casablanca. Inject new chromatics into your cuisine with today's WagJag: $15 for $35 towards an all-you-can-eat sushi dinner from Osechi Japanese Cuisine (regularly $20 per person).

The menu at Osechi enlists a line-up of classic Japanese dishes including hot noodle and rice plates, spring rolls, bento boxes and a lengthy inventory of sushi. Get your fill of favourites like avocado, white tuna and California rolls before trying more elaborate signature pieces, such as the Osechi (soft-shell crab, barbecued eel and tobiko), pink lady (spicy crab meat layered with smoked salmon) or submarine (a barbecued eel mix topped with salmon and sparkling gold flakes). Specialty sushi pizzas take a crisp rice patty and top it with salmon, avocado or other roll faves for a crunchy twist. Meals can culminate with exotic and uniquely Japanese sweets, like deep-fried banana.

Osechi's humble outside belies an elegant and inviting interior, a spacious venue of hardwood floors, chestnut leather furnishings and walls of backlit Eastern art themes. Booths and semi-enclosed dining tables allow for an intimate meal. The restaurant is open every day until 10pm.

"We have been waiting for a long time to have a good sushi place in the east of Hamilton!
Had dinner on Saturday night. It was amazing! Lots of choices! Love the special pizza and the golden California roll there. My grandparents don't eat sushi, but they love the Terriyaki and General Tso chicken. Food is fresh. Very fast service; it comes right away. The staff is very helpful and friendly. A very nice place. We will come back soon." - Yelp
