Kewpie Japanese Mayonnaise – Creamy Umami Condiment 350g

Kewpie mayonnaise is not a substitute for the Western kind — it's a different condiment altogether. Made with egg yolks rather than whole eggs, and seasoned with rice vinegar and a whisper of MSG, this Japanese staple carries a richer, silkier texture and a subtle savory depth that elevates everything from sandwiches to sushi rolls to grilled corn.

About this product

Kewpie's recipe dates to 1925 and remains largely unchanged. The brand's iconic squeezable bottle is recognizable in kitchens across Japan and increasingly in Spain among cooks who understand that not all mayonnaise serves the same purpose. The 350-gram format is ideal for regular use without waste. Its pale yellow hue and characteristic tang make it instantly distinguishable from standard mayonnaise.

How to enjoy

• Spread on fresh bread or use as a base for sandwiches and burgers.
• Drizzle over grilled corn (elote-style) or steamed vegetables.
• Mix into sushi rice or use as a dipping sauce for gyoza and tempura.
• Blend with sriracha or other hot sauces for a quick spicy aioli.
• Top tacos, grilled fish, or roasted potatoes.

⭐ Why we love this

Kewpie represents a masterclass in condiment craftsmanship—the egg yolk base and rice vinegar create an umami-forward profile that transforms simple dishes into restaurant-quality meals. Spanish cooks are increasingly turning to this Japanese classic as the sophisticated alternative to standard mayonnaise, especially for elevating tapas, grilled seafood, and pan con tomate.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with Spanish grilled fish like sardinas a la plancha or gambas al ajillo, where its silky richness complements fresh seafood without overpowering delicate flavors. It's also exceptional with croquetas or as a dip alongside a crisp Txakoli or chilled Albariño—the wine's acidity cuts beautifully through the mayo's richness.

📍 From Spain

It arrives in Spain as part of a curated selection of world-class condiments that complement Spanish pantry staples and enhance the cross-cultural cooking that defines modern Spanish gastronomy.
