Saucy Boys: How to Categorize Japanese Guys with Condiments

Last updated: 7 May 2020

As a Japanese person myself, a face featuring small eyes and a flat face and nose is what usually comes to mind when I think of the average Japanese person. Recently, using condiments as a way to differentiate faces has become a bit of a trend. What's your type?

1. Soy Sauce Look

A typical Japanese face with mild features. Cool, yet kind of common place.

2. "Sauce" / Brown Sauce Look

A typical Japanese face with chiseled features that border on being too intense.

3. Ketchup Look

Basically a mix of sauce and soy sauce - a good balance.

4. Salt Look

The eyes and facial contours are sharp, but with features even softer than a soy sauce face. Perhaps a typical Asian person's face.

5. Vinegar Look

A face with mild features - but even softer features than a salt face!

6. Sugar Look

A cute face reminiscent of a boy that looks as sweet as sugar.

7. Mayonnaise Look

Not as sweet as a sugar look, but with a lovable, soft-featured face.

So what's your favorite type of guy? (And does it coincide with your favorite Japanese condiment?!)
