The Secret of the Name: Where Do Ninja Sushi’s Roll Names Come From? Part 2
Recently, we shared how we come up with unique and memorable names for rolls on the Ninja Sushi menu — each one has an interesting story behind it, referencing pop culture, mythology, and Japanese traditions. You loved this format, which means we’re on the right track!
In part two of the «Secret of the Name» series, meet Nobara, Itachi, Yamamoto, Sukuna, Luffy, Kagami, Mito, and Madara.
Sasuke’s older brother and one of the most iconic characters in «Naruto». His story is one of tragedy, sacrifice, and wisdom.
The «Itachi» roll reflects this with shrimp, snow crab, avocado, truffle, and Japanese mayo.
Nobara Kugisaki is a charismatic hero from «Jujutsu Kaisen», capable of handling threats with just a hammer — no team needed.
Smart, a bit wild, and unafraid to be herself, she quickly won fans' hearts.
Our «Nobara» roll is just as striking: salmon, tempura shrimp, snow crab, cucumber, avocado, and sweet chili sauce.
Named after the terrifying yet captivating King of Curses from «Jujutsu Kaisen», Ryomen Sukuna.
This dual-natured roll includes salmon, tuna, avocado, mango, and a touch of black rice with squid ink — for a dramatic look.
A common surname in Japan, but anime fans immediately think of Genryūsai Yamamoto from «Bleach» — the oldest and most powerful captain of the Soul Society.
The «Yamamoto» roll: salmon, shrimp, crab mix, caviar, and avocado.
The infectious laugh, straw hat, and unwavering dream — that's Monkey D. Luffy, the fearless captain of «One Piece».
The «Luffy» roll is a bold blend of seafood: eel, caviar, salmon, snow crab, shrimp, and crunchy panko crumbs.
Taiga Kagami from «Kuroko’s Basketball» — tall, strong, and determined, with a fiery spirit that won’t give up.
The «Kagami» roll mixes varied flavors: salmon, avocado, shrimp, orange, cheddar, and scallop.
Mito is a soft, beautiful name seen in anime and real life — it also belonged to Hashirama Senju’s wife in «Naruto».
The «Mito» roll is just as delicate: nori, tuna, tomatoes, cream cheese, and feta.
Madara Uchiha needs no introduction — one of the most powerful shinobi in «Naruto», dreaming of a peaceful world.
The «Madara» roll is a bold mix of black and red: black rice, salmon, avocado, caviar, cream cheese, and scallop.
