Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise - 17.64 oz. (Pack of 3)

I stumbled on this product in a cooking video that I was watching. When I first started to use it, I was not sure about it. I liked it, though. I have been never stopped using it, it is so much better then normal mayo. It is not as greasy, or has way better flavor. You can use it to be on your break before you put the bread down on the grill to toast it for a grilled cheese sandwich. I like it also when I am making a sauce that has mayo in it. I have the kids and wife using it now, I do still buy regular MAYO, but I only use that when I am doing a big dish that I need a lot of mayo. If you have not tried it, it is well worth the trouble to try..

This is the absolute best mayonnaise you can ever use in your kitchen. Japanese mayonnaise has a creamy texture with a slightly acidic. Taste that complements bold flavors. We use this product as a base for so many different sauces. We know longer use American mayonnaise at all in our house. Once you try it you won’t buy anything else.

distinctive flavor enhances any sandwich or just a hard boiled egg

Hands down the best mayo you can buy. It’s literally just mayo with MSG, but wow does it bring out the flavor. I made a sandwich for my friend the other day and she couldn’t stop raving. After letting her know what I put in the sandwich, she went on a rant and insisted I text her the “crack sauce” so she could get her hands on some immediately. It’s that good.If you are concerned about the MSG, it’s a totally naturally occurring sodium bound protein glutamate, a naturally occurring protein that already exists in your body and red meats. The Thai among many other other people have been using MSG for years and have a much longer lifespan than Americans and many others - so forget the MSG scare of Chinese restaurants on the 90’s. For me, the MSG is a non issue health concern - but it might be for you. If you’re willing to take the plunge (and you should!), you won’t find a better mayo.The squeeze bottle makes it super easy to dispense controlled portions. My only gripe would be that because of the squeeze tube there’s all small portion of mayo that is left behind in each tube. And ITS SO GOOD that you want every last drop. The three pack helps with that because I always have a fresh tube in the pantry!

As a diehard Hellmann's fan since I was a kid, (though I usually used whatever my parents bought on sale), hands down, my lifelong affair with Hellmann's has never wavered. That is, until this week, when, after searching taste tests across the Internet, I discovered that two other mayonnaise brands were neck-in-neck with Hellmann's: Duke's, and Kewpie. At 61, I decided to do a taste test of my own, buying Duke's last week, and receiving Kewpie today. The results? When the Duke's arrived, I set the Hellmann's aside. And today I received the Kewpie, which is delicious! However, there are several things about Kewpie that has lead me to place it third among all others. First of all, it's yellow, and I get why it's that way but the color combined with the red print is just a tiny bit offputting to me (psychosomatic call, I know, but it is what it is). Second, Kewpie has a vinegary "kick", which makes it taste both great and yet more like a salad dressing at the same time. I'm not a big fan of Miracle Whip, and while Kewpie doesn't have the same sweetness as the Whip, it reminded me of it for some reason. Then there's the obvious fact that it's expensive, and it's not made in the USA. Those things don't affect the taste, I know, but they're factors in whether I'd buy Kewpie again or not. And the jury's still out on that one, because it really is a delicious mayo, but not as good as Hellmann's, and surprisingly, neither one compares to Duke's, with it's lemony edge and zero fructose added. In New England, we Yankees love our Hellmann's because we'd never heard of Duke's (OR Kewpie) until recent commercials hit the airways. And to be honest, I'd say that any one of these 3 TOWER over all other brands, and would recommend giving any of these a try.

Love this stuff! Great on fried ramen, tuna, burgers, chicken nuggets, very versatile!The only thing I don't like about this is that as you use more of the bottle, you have to fill it with air and flip it over to get more out, otherwise the bottle deflates and it becomes difficult to pour. Bottle is very sturdy, I usually flip it rightside up, bang it against the counter to get the mayo to fall to the bottom, then fill it with air (just gently squeeze to let it fill with air) close the lid and flip it back over, bang it a couple times to get the mayo to the lid, and then apply.

I put this on my karaage, I put this on my okonomiyaki. Other brands just won't do. If I had to describe it, it has more of a lemon taste compared to western mayo. But that's not the entirety of this situation....It feels like its better quality mayo. I swear I can tell the difference in a blind taste test compared to western mayo that has extra lemon juice.

I stock both mayonnaise and salad dressing in my fridge, each for various recipes and applications but this was a very welcome addition to my culinary armory. I have seen it on several YouTube videos and other recipes around but finally decided to try it and I love it! It's a very pleasant taste and not too fatty tasting or cloy (like mayo can be). I've used it on burgers, brats/hot dogs, egg or tuna salad, and even to make some coleslaw. I keep a bottle at home and a bottle at work, it's that good! Very impressed with it and though it is pricey, I feel that $6.00 a bottle is worth it. I don't say that about many things that pricey but this one is indeed worth its price. The only caveat is that if I didn't like it, I've got $18 worth of mayonnaise that I don't like lol. It'd be nice if they sold a "sample" size bottle or single bottle, especially with it being something that most Westerners have never even tasted or seen before.
