Kewpie Mayonnaise

(Japanese Mayonnaise)

Kewpie is a popular brand of mayonnaise originating from Japan. Enjoyed since 1925, the mayonnaise is made with three main ingredients - oil, rice or apple vinegar, and egg yolks. No sugar or salt is added to the mayonnaise, and it’s bottled in easy-to-squeeze containers.


The flavor is fruity and sweet, with a hint of umami. Kewpie mayonnaise goes well with sandwiches, sushi, salads, and okonomiyaki - a savory Japanese pancake. Originally, Kewpie used twice as much egg yolks as imported mayonnaise of the time because the founder, Toichiro Nakashima, wanted to create high-quality mayonnaise.
