What is Kewpie mayo?

Kewpie Mayonnaise is to the Japanese as Hellmans is to the British. QP mayo is THE mayo of Japan. Sold for more than 80 years, Kewpie mayo is a yellowier, richer, more creamy and flavoursome mayonnaise than the standard British types. QP Mayo is made with rice vinegar, as a pose to distilled vinegar, making it especially complimentary to Japanese foods.

The 500g Kewpie Mayo comes in a squeezy soft plastic bottle with a resealable screw top. Once opened can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

What makes Japanese mayo different?

While American mayonnaise uses whole eggs, Kewpie mayo incorporates yolks & yolks  alone for a yellow color, an almost custardy texture, and distinctly rich and fatty mouthfeel. The egg yolks—precisely 4 in every squeeze bottle—are an important source of amino acids that give Kewpie its signature savory taste and, to state the obvious, egg-forward taste.

To balance out all that fatty goodness, Kewpie has the perfect amount of acid. While Hellmann’s and other American brands use sharp and pungent distilled white vinegar, Kewpie relies on a blend of vinegar, rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and distilled vinegar, for example—for added complexity, tang, and natural sweetness.
