Saucy Boys: How to Categorize Japanese Guys with Condiments

Last updated: 7 May 2020

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

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

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

6. Sugar Look
