Isn't this really common? I rarely see these in any other shape.

You are right. This is only mildly interesting...

That’s not what was said in the original post. Some people said they’ve seen these, but I’ve only seen the rectangle packets. That’s why it’s mildly interesting to me, at least. Mostly the topic surrounded the waste of plastic pollutants was in the original post.

Just want to come out and say I've literally never seen these before OP, and I've ordered a ton of sushi. All I've ever gotten was the soft plastic packets. Definitely mildly interesting to me and super cute!

Yay there are two of us! I love sushi and ordered from a new place this weekend and got these little surprises. Anyway, thanks for relating to me.

Fancy. Is there a brand name?
trollcole OP t1_j6afqnl wrote
Not that I know of, but maybe those who always get these may know.

They suspiciously look like fish sauce...jus sayin

The States. I think a lot of Australians and Brits are used to these? Is that the case?

Yep, UK here and they're in literally every takeaway sushi

Fun fact: back in early 2000 someone made a web animation with this design called "Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman". It was a Kikkoman (popular Japanese soy sauce brand) branded superhero with this fish for a head:

I have never seen anything outside of the rectangular plastic. These are awesome.

Oh yeah! Someone posted it in my original post. Love it! Thanks for posting here!

That explains the flack I’m getting for something that’s not interesting for others. Happy u/gwenethpaltrowsteponm got to the bottom of this.

Not only are these widely available across the world, they're iconic. Been around since the 50s.

Say "Fish Shaped Soy Sauce" 10 times really fast
Holotropic_Waffle t1_j6aqiby wrote
First time getting these, there was for sure a fleeting moment of childlike wonder, like it is kinda neat. Soy for sushi in the shape of a fish. Clever.
Then again, microplastic from these containers will end up in the oceans and inside the very fish being used to make sushi - it's all very cyclical and tragic and there's nothing cute or convenient about it in the long run.

Holotropic_Waffle t1_j6aroqf wrote
The basic design goes back to the 1950s. There's hundreds of variations from a myriad of manufacturers, asking for a specific brand name is like asking for the brand name of rubber ducks or something equally generic and widely produced.

Western Australian too and this is almost all I've ever seen. I think it's just Woolworths who don't use these.

Don't worry op, some of us have never seen this either. I've only ever seen this on a scene from bluey lol
lawfulkitten1 t1_j6bauwb wrote
I wish the option in delivery sushi to exclude the soy sauce was more common. Even here in Japan, a lot of (most?) places by default include a small plastic contained of soy sauce, even though the vast majority of households probably have soy sauce at home...

Hi fellow parent to a young one.

I agree! Save the planet, save restaurants money. The only one who wouldn’t be thrilled are the packet makers. But they’ll reap the benefits of less pollution.

So much plastic.

These aren't available everywhere. I've lived in Alabama, Atlanta, and St. Louis and vacationed in California (all in the US) and never seen these prior to a previous Reddit post.

As far as I can tell from whenever these come up, they're incredibly common everywhere except America. At very least, everywhere in Europe and Oceania seems to default to them.

What would be interesting, is seeing any other packaging than the ubiquitous fish ones.

I didn’t know anyone served soy sauce in anything else?

Unfortunately they're not recyclable so they're terrible for the planet (like everything). There has been a bit of campaigning to get them changed to something more sustainable.

Why does this keep coming up on here. Common in Australia. I guess weird for Americans?

Germany as well. I was at a Samurai museum today and in the gift shop, they sold designer lamps in the exakt shape of these soy sauce fish. Would have bought one if it weren't 250€…
