|---|---|---|

| Kento Nanami | Bread and ajillo | Flat noodles |
| Toge Inumaki | Tuna mayo onigiri | Fish eggs |
| Aoi Todo | Skirt steak | None |

| Shoko Ieiri | Alcohol | Sweet things |
| Maki Zenin | Junk food | Vegetarian food |

What does Yuji eat in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Rice bowls with toppings and noodles, and there’s nothing he won’t eat. Yuji’s profile lists donburi-style rice bowls and noodles as his favorites and no least favorite food at all.
The most famous JJK eating moment isn’t a meal, though. In the first chapter and episode, Yuji swallows one of Sukuna’s fingers, a cursed object, to get the power to save Megumi. It makes him Sukuna’s vessel and starts the whole story.
Megumi Fushiguro
Anything that goes well with ginger, like Japanese ginger pork (shogayaki). He dislikes red bell peppers and any sweet side dish, which makes him the opposite of his sweets-loving teacher.
Nobara Kugisaki
Popular, trendy food and watermelon. Nobara came to Tokyo from the countryside, and her profile says she enjoys city life by buying lots of food and clothes. Her least favorite is asazuke, lightly pickled vegetables.
What is Gojo’s favorite food?

Sweet things, and his least favorite is alcohol. Gojo started eating sweets to stimulate his brain and ended up with a full sweet tooth. For a Gojo-style treat, a Japanese strawberry parfait or a box of mochi does the job.
Suguru Geto and Shoko Ieiri
Gojo’s two closest classmates make a funny set. Shoko is his exact opposite: her favorite is alcohol and her least favorite is sweet things. Geto’s favorite is zaru soba, cold buckwheat noodles served on a bamboo tray with a dipping sauce, and like Yuji, he has no least favorite food.
Kento Nanami
Bread and ajillo, and he dislikes flat noodles. Nanami is a foodie whose hobbies are drinking and cooking for himself, and after leaving work on time he stays home to eat, drink and read.
Bread is part of his story, too. In his salaryman flashback, he exorcises a curse from a worker at the bakery he likes, and being thanked for it helps pull him back into jujutsu.
Why does Inumaki only say onigiri words?

His Cursed Speech makes ordinary words dangerous, so he limits himself to rice-ball fillings to avoid cursing anyone by accident. His friends have learned what each one means:
- Salmon (shake): yes, agreement
- Kelp (konbu): a greeting
- Tuna (tsuna): “look”
- Tuna mayo: general talk, like “do something”
- Salmon roe (sujiko): “well, well”
Fittingly, his favorite food is tuna mayo onigiri. His least favorite is fish eggs, which is funny for someone who says “salmon roe” out loud.
Aoi Todo and Yuta Okkotsu
Todo’s favorite is skirt steak, called harami at a Japanese yakiniku grill. If you want to eat like Todo, harami is also the main cut in our Goku-style Saiyan yakiniku feast.
Yuta goes the other way: his favorite is cabbage with salt and sesame oil, and he dislikes the fatty part of a steak.
Maki, Panda, Toji and Yuki
- Maki Zenin: junk food. She dislikes vegetarian food.
- Panda: calpas, a dried sausage snack sold in Japan. His least favorite is bamboo leaves.
- Toji Fushiguro: meat and offal. His least favorite is alcohol, because it doesn’t get him drunk.
- Yuki Tsukumo: chicken burritos. She dislikes seaweed.
What about Sukuna?
His profile lists his hobby as eating. Fittingly, the whole story starts with someone eating him.
How do you eat like a JJK character for a day?
Build each meal around a different character’s favorite. Everything here is easy to find at a Japanese restaurant, an Asian grocery or a convenience store:
| Meal | What to eat | Whose favorite |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | Tuna mayo onigiri | Inumaki |
| Lunch | A katsudon or other rice bowl | Yuji |
| Snack | Watermelon, or whatever’s trending | Nobara |
| Dinner | Ginger pork or grilled skirt steak, with salted sesame cabbage | Megumi, Todo, Yuta |
| Dessert | A strawberry parfait, no alcohol | Gojo |
| Late night | Bread and ajillo at home | Nanami |
Skip Nanami’s least favorite (flat noodles) and Megumi’s (red bell peppers), and the day is canon-friendly for the whole cast.
Where do the JJK favorite foods come from?
The Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook, a 2021 Japanese data book with profiles for the main characters. VIZ published it in English in April 2024 as Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide (sold by Amazon), which covers volumes 0 to 15 and includes an interview between Gege Akutami and Bleach creator Tite Kubo.
