This yr there’s sushi from new vendor Nakagawa Sushi, a rooster wing impressed by Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki, and teriyaki made in collaboration with native meals persona J. Kenji Lopez-Alt.

This was the perfect new meals we sampled on the 2025 Mariners meals preview. Sumo Canine is a California-based chain that hundreds its canine up with a wild vary of toppings. The Godzilla, as an example, is a footlog canine with (deep breath) beef chili, togarashi cheese sauce, wasabi relish, pickled peppers, spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, minced onion, jalapeno, and nori. The top result’s salty and meaty and somewhat spicy and somewhat umami, a large number of a meal that can distract you from no matter is occurring down on the sector (in a great way).
Nakagawa Sushi [section 132]

“Ballpark sushi” doesn’t have an incredible ring to it — it reminds us of “airport sushi” or “gasoline station sushi.” However Nakagawa’s small menu of rolls hit the spot. The IchiRoll, mainly a California roll topped with salmon and little crunchy guys, could have you saying “that’s ballpark sushi (complimentary)!”
Ichi Wings [At the Walk Off Market at section 105]
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25920081/Ichi_Wings.jpg)
These wings are supposedly “the very recipe created particularly for Ichiro within the clubhouse kitchen, that includes a scrumptious teriyaki and sesame glaze.” They’re gentle and candy, a single quite than a house run, which appears becoming.

:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25920082/Turkey_Leg.jpg)
One other nod to a Mariner of yesteryear, that is perhaps probably the most divisive factor on the menu. It’s enjoyable (particularly in principle) to chomp down on an enormous honkin’ turkey leg. It’s giving Renaissance Truthful! Nevertheless it’s additionally form of an enterprise.

:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25920092/Turn_Two_Teriyaki__Chicken_Bowl.jpg)
The teriyaki recipe right here was developed with Lopez-Alt, who at one level was making an attempt to eat at each teriyaki restaurant within the metropolis. The result’s a success: candy, sticky, the rooster flippantly charred.
What Up Corn Canine [Cantina Nachos at sections 143, 195, 319, and 33]
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25920101/What_Up_Corn_Dog.jpg)
We gotta discuss this factor. The press launch describes it as a “honey-battered corn canine with a spicy crunch served with nacho cheese.” Meaning it’s candy, it’s very tacky, it’s heavy, and it has this bizarre blue mud on it that solutions the query, “what if Fruity Pebbles had been spicy?” It’s a helpful method to absorb some worth beers, however no more than that.

Moto Pizza [Section 312]
Now that it’s not borderline inconceivable to get Moto’s Filipino-inflected ‘zas exterior the ballpark, it’s rather less thrilling that Moto has a location in T-Cell. Nevertheless it’s nonetheless value visiting to attempt the crab pizza. It’s crispy and buttery with a satisfying trace of lemon — truthfully it resembles a crab toast dish greater than a pizza. If they’re out of it, the extra primary topping mixtures are nonetheless strong.
