Has anyone else noticed that sashimi vs sushi has similar vibes to Saruman vs Sauron?

Hi, I’m Jack.🤷‍♂️ chronically unserious, cautiously cynical.

they kinda have a similar relationship to each other on both!

Sashimi is the little brother because it's less well known and always tags along in "sushi restaurants", much like Saruman tags along with Sauron.

And the name in both cases feels like you start from the short thing and then stretch an extra syllable in.

In terms of linguistics or in terms of power?

hmm not really. Closest salmon-related equivalent I can think of is лосось (salmon) vs лось (moose) in Russian.

I like nuances. I work on Web3, LSDs, and MEV.

Which LotR characters do those correspond to?

Yep similar vibes as to Donburi and Teppanyaki

i push buttons, create images, write words and say things, all on ⛓️ / ⚏ / interested in design, art, web3, and philosophy

What about maki and uramaki?
Maybe a Tolkien equivalent could be Lórien and Lothlórien ahah

Particularly relevant to me as I’m visiting japan these couple weeks!

In France WE have "pain au chocolat" vs "chocolatine" basically the War between two local dialect word to design the same bakery food

I am with sushi
The fish just taste much better with the sour rice

same as Bad Bunny vs Timothee Chalamet (for girlies only)
