Kewpie Mayonnaise
Kewpie Mayonnaise is a Japanese brand of mayonnaise that stands out for its unique formulation and flavor profile. Originating from Japan in the early 20th century, it is made with rice vinegar, egg yolks, and soybean oil, giving it a distinctive tangy and slightly sweet taste compared to Western mayonnaise. The texture is notably smoother and creamier, making it exceptionally easy to spread and blend into dishes. Its emulsification is more stable, meaning it holds up well in both hot and cold dishes without breaking down. This mayonnaise is prized for its ability to enhance the flavor of foods without overwhelming them, making it a staple in Japanese cuisine and increasingly popular worldwide.
