Who sent the fish cake with swirl and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What 🍥 means in other countries
Best known as the naruto swirl from ramen bowls and anime, more a visual motif than a food most people identify by taste.
Narutomaki, a ramen garnish named after the whirlpools near Naruto city, not a dish on its own.
Recognized mainly through anime or ramen-shop imagery rather than as food.
Before you send it: Fun for ramen or anime talk; don’t expect it to be recognized as food by itself.

Chat apps do not change U+1F365, they change what it looks like and what people take it to mean.

Where the 🍥 Fish Cake with Swirl emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Same character every time — U+1F365 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
🍥 existed there as
NTT DoCoMo E643, KDDI au E4ED.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Fish Cake with Swirl was approved as U+1F365 and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🍥 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
