As a Japanese person myself, when I picture the average Japanese face, I might imagine someone with gentle, mild features—a look often described as having smaller eyes and a flatter face and nose. Recently, people have started using condiments as a fun and easy way to describe different facial types. So, which “condiment look” do you prefer?
1. Soy Sauce Look

The classic Japanese look: subtle, balanced features that give off a cool and approachable vibe.
2. "Sauce" / Brown Sauce Look

A more intense version of the soy sauce face, this look has stronger, chiseled features that add a bit of drama.
3. Ketchup Look

A blend of sauce and soy sauce styles—combining intensity with a hint of softness.
4. Salt Look

Sharp eyes and soft contours make up this face. It’s a softer version of the soy sauce look, with delicate features typical of many Asian faces.
5. Vinegar Look

With even milder features than the salt look, this style is soft and gentle—perfect for those who love subtlety.
6. Sugar Look

This sweet, youthful face is all about charm. It has a boyish, innocent look that’s hard to resist.
7. Mayonnaise Look

Softer than sugar but not overly sweet, this look is warm and lovable, with gentle, soft features.
So, which condiment describes the type of guy you like best? This fun analogy is an easy way to explore different styles and see what appeals to you.
