There is no doubt that size matters when it comes to sushi. What makes a meal satisfying? The body recognizes nutrients and calories, but the satisfaction of a meal comes from the entire eating experience, including the taste, aroma and texture of the food. At every eating occasion, the amount eaten, the duration of the meal and the satisfaction afterwards depend on multiple factors which we may or may not be aware of. There is evidence that provides new insights into how different foods may impact eating behaviours, such as bite size and chewing times.
If you look carefully at the two photos, the black background fish is considerably smaller. You can see the size by the surface cuts, and this gives you the idea of the fish’s thickness. In reality one fish is almost twice the weight of the other. I can tell you that you won’t forget when a food overwhelms you when it’s too large. My guess is, the single reason why some sushi experiences are uncomfortable is size. There is nothing worse than a food when you have no control over cutting it – bombs away!
