These adorable illustrations from Tumblr user Slimu provide a sweet and simple breakdown on the different types of sushi. The nine animated GIFs in the 'Sushi Reference Guide' make it easy to identify the kinds of sushi that you’re likely to see in restaurants, but less likely to know by their proper Japanese names.
This series includes a variety of sushi topped with fish, eggs and other edibles from the sea. Although all of the different names might be initially tough to take in, the different personalities and appearances of the personified sushi certainly helps. Each of the animated versions of the cute sushi drawings wiggles and bounces with a big smile on their faces.
