KEWPIE MAYONNAISE
Ambient. Origin: Japan. Brand: Kewpie. Size: 450g. Code: DR0029.

Kewpie is Japan’s most famous mayonnaise and something of a cult ingredient among chefs, prized because it is noticeably different from, and to many palates better than, its Western counterpart. The secret lies in the recipe: it is made with only egg yolks rather than whole eggs, which gives it a far richer, silkier, more golden character, and it is seasoned with a distinctive blend of vinegars, including apple and rice vinegar, for a brighter, tangier finish.

The result is a mayonnaise of remarkable depth. It is smooth and thick, luxuriously creamy, and carries a savoury, umami rich flavour that ordinary mayonnaise lacks, at once tangy and moreish. Its signature soft red cap and squeezable tube make it as practical as it is delicious, letting a cook pipe fine lines and precise dots with ease.

Its uses are endless and much loved in modern kitchens. It is the base of spicy mayo for sushi rolls and ebi mayo prawns, the essential drizzle over okonomiyaki and takoyaki, and the secret to an exceptional potato salad, sandwich, or coleslaw. It enriches dips and dressings, finishes grilled seafood, and pairs beautifully with katsu and fried foods. Once a kitchen tries it, ordinary mayonnaise rarely satisfies again.
