What Is Japanese Mayo?<\/h2>\r\nJapanese mayo is a condiment from (where else?) Japan\u2014we'd even call it an essential Japanese ingredient<\/a>. The most popular brand, Kewpie<\/a>, is packaged in a soft squeeze bottle with a narrow spout that makes it easy to use. According to the brand, Kewpie founder Toichiro Nakashima first developed the mayo in 1925 after a visit to the U.S. He used twice as much egg yolk as imported mayonnaise<\/a> to make it nutrient-rich and packed with flavor.\r\n

What's the difference between Japanese mayo and regular mayo?<\/h3>\r\nThere's a reason Kewpie is used to accentuate Japanese dishes<\/a> like egg salad, rice bowls, ramen, poke and okonomiyaki. It has a creamier, richer, slightly sweeter flavor with more umami<\/a> than the jars of Best Foods or Hellmann's Americans are accustomed to. Kewpie gets that flavor from egg yolks instead of whole eggs and rice vinegar rather than white vinegar.\r\n

What does Japanese mayo taste like?<\/h3>\r\nJapanese mayos like Kewpie are made in a similar way as other mayonnaises, by emulsifying egg, neutral oil, Dijon mustard and acid. However, what makes Japanese mayo distinct is a rich and bold egg flavor combined with the umami punch from MSG, or monosodium glutamate<\/a>. A\u00a0small amount of MSG packs serious umami flavor.\r\n
