Sushi Lover Hats

Sushi is the rare food with a rulebook everyone pretends not to read. Dip the fish side down so the rice does not fall apart, keep wasabi to a small dab, and never put an empty plate back on the belt. At a conveyor-belt restaurant, staff count the stacked plates and price the bill by plate color and pattern, so a high score is also a receipt. Nigiri is the everyday form in Japan, while rolls dominate in the West; the California roll dates to the 1970s in southern California, and the snob ladder has been climbing from there ever since. These sushi lover hats are for every rung. Two badges, SUSHI and SUSHI LOVER, name the obsession plainly. The sentence designs carry the bits: a 31-plate high score, omakase at a rounded-up $200 to be told what to eat, the gas station sushi copypasta that began on r/copypasta in May 2020 and still gets quoted, extra wasabi for the brave, a self-appointed sushi train conductor, and one bite as the chef intended. The omakase and gas station lines each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Pick one for your own next reservation, or give it to the friend who always orders for the table.
