Japanese mayonnaise, often branded as Kewpie in Japan, is a creamy and tangy condiment with origins in Japanese cuisine. Unlike Western mayonnaise, it uses only egg yolks for a richer texture and combines them with vinegar—typically rice or apple cider—and a touch of mustard, creating its signature umami flavor. Additionally, Japanese mayonnaise often incorporates monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a flavor enhancer, contributing to its savory taste. While it’s celebrated for its depth of flavor, the condiment is calorie-dense due to its high fat content from vegetable oil and egg yolks. It is a source of vitamin E and contains some beneficial fats, but moderation is key for health-conscious individuals. Japanese mayonnaise is popularly used in dishes like okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and sushi, bringing a unique creaminess to traditional and modern recipes worldwide.
