Japanese (Kewpie-Style) Mayo | Recipe | ChefSteps
Japanese mayonnaise (and Kewpie brand in particular) is beloved worldwide for its delightful spreadability, savory flavor, and sunny disposition . Why does it rise above the rest? It has a silky-smooth consistency and rich yellow color that come from egg yolks (most American mayos are made with whole eggs), and it takes on a deeply satisfying umaminess thanks to a little MSG.
