What Your Favorite Sushi Roll Says About You

For many people, sushi is a food of the gods. I mean, what could be bad about fish, avocado, or veggies, wrapped up in rice and seaweed? What many people do not know, however, is that your favorite sushi roll can tell someone a lot about your personality. So, let’s dive right in and find out what your favorite sushi roll says about you.

1. Vegetable Roll

Usually consisting of creamy avocado, along with crunchy carrots and cucumber, a veggie roll is for those who are more reserved. If this roll is your favorite way to do sushi night, you are very comfortable with who you are and don’t like change. You stick to what you know and have a hard time stepping out of your comfort zone. 

2. Shrimp Tempura Roll

Shrimp tempura rolls are usually made with crispy tempura shrimp, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and sometimes drizzled with sweet and salty eel sauce. All of these textures combined create a delicious roll. If this is your go-to sushi order, you are someone who likes variety and indulgence. The plethora of textures and the fried shrimp makes for a decadent roll, perfect for someone who doesn’t mind splurging once in a while.

3. Spicy Tuna Roll

Spicy tuna rolls are a classic. Made up of tuna mixed with spicy Japanese mayo, spicy tuna lovers are people who like to spice things up in life. They like to try new things and aren’t afraid of taking risks and chances. If spicy tuna is your favorite sushi roll, you are someone who takes every opportunity you are offered and you make the most out of life. 

#SpoonTip: If you order take out and forgot to order extra spicy mayo, make some at home by just adding some Sriracha and lime juice to a couple tablespoons of mayo.

4. Caterpillar Roll

Caterpillar rolls are a staple on almost all sushi menus, and for good reason. The inside contains eel and cucumber, while the outside is decorated with slices of avocado and eel sauce. If this is your favorite roll, you are someone who is unique and adventurous. You are quirky and love making jokes. A caterpillar roll is perfect for the  person in a friend group who doesn’t care about what others think. 

5. Salmon Avocado Roll

Salmon avocado rolls are simple, but so delicious. The soft and fresh salmon with the smooth avocado makes for the perfect roll. If salmon avocado rolls are your thing, you are someone who loves to be with others and will rarely be found alone. You are someone who is the life of the party and enjoys being the center of attention.

6. Nigiri or Sashimi

If you are unfamiliar with sashimi or nigiri, they are either just raw fish, or raw fish over rice. If either of these are your go-to sushi order, you are a minimalist at heart. You appreciate the little things in life, but also love to be fancy and live luxuriously. 

If you are a sushi lover, you know that someone’s sushi order actually says a lot about them. So the next time you are on a sushi date, pay attention to what your friends order and maybe you could learn something about them you didn’t know before.
