Obon is always keeping things fresh when it comes to the menu.
Recently, the downtown restaurant has brought in some new dishes, a Happy Hour that’s equipped with discounted appetizers and sushi, and a handful of crafty cocktails.
More importantly, there’s a brand-new margarita you need to try sooner rather than later. If you’re reading this on Thursday, February 22, you’re in for a treat because today happens to be National Margarita Day. Party on!
The new margarita to hit the menu is the Shiso Spicy — a sweet and spicy margarita that contains flavors of juicy watermelon and hints of Japanese shiso. It’s easy on the eyes and it’s even better to consume. This margarita is refreshing as heck and don’t be too startled by its name — the level of heat isn’t that intimidating.
We also have a guide to our favorite margaritas in Tucson if you’re looking for more options.
OBON Sushi + Bar + Ramen is located at 350 E. Congress St. For more information and the full menu, visit obonsushi.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
