Product of the Month - Kewpie Mayonnaise

The product of February is Kewpie Mayonnaise at Oriental Mart.

Mayonnaise is one of the most famous condiments in the world and it is widely used in various countries. It is believed that the Japanese version mayonnaise – Kewpie mayonnaise is the best. In a comparison of the normal mayonnaise that we could find in a supermarket and the Kewpie mayonnaise, the Kewpie has a thicker but creamer and smoother texture because it uses apple or rice vinegar instead of distilled vinegar. Additionally, it is made by egg yolks rather than whole eggs.

Kewpie Mayonnaise is definitely an essential condiment in Japanese cuisine. You can find mayonnaise in numerous dishes. For example, the classic combination between Chicken Karaage and Kewpie Mayonnaise with a touch of fresh lemon juice. Also, Kewpie Mayonnaise is a necessary topping for Yakisoba and Okonomiyaki.
