While Kewpie has become increasingly popular in the U.S. in recent years (a trend only bolstered by Emily Mariko’s viral salmon rice TikTok), Japanese kitchens have stocked this luscious condiment since 1925. It’s not only smoother, richer, and more fun to use (squeeze bottle > jar) than your average mayo, but it’s also packed with much, much more eggy umami flavor. If it sounds contradictory that Kewpie has both the tangy-sweetness and the savory undertone that are absent in Hellmann’s and the like, you’ll just have to taste it to understand. I can’t get enough of it in poke bowls, atop okonomiyaki, and anywhere else a dollop of mayo is welcome.
What makes Japanese mayo different?
While American mayonnaise uses whole eggs, Kewpie mayo incorporates yolks and yolks alone for a yellow color, an almost custardy texture, and distinctly rich and fatty mouthfeel. The egg yolks—precisely four in every 500-gram squeeze bottle—are an important source of amino acids that give Kewpie its signature savory taste and, to state the obvious, egg-forward taste.
Ready to use with salad, sandwiches, sushi, and more.
