Its the awesomest mayo ever! I love it but its so expensive.

I love it as well, and the bottle is sooooo cute - I only wish it was made out of glass, so that I can keep it forever.

Ewwwww, I hate it but my sister like it. I'm talking about the mayo in a thin plastic bottle with a picture of a baby.

I like the spicy mayonnaise they put on sushi.

Is that considered japanese mayonnaise?

Why does american Mayo still come in narrow glass jars?

Not smart enough to use squeeze bottles? embarassedlaugh.gif

I tried to make the spicy sauce for sushi. And if I recall correctly, to some best food mayo, I just added sugar to sweet it up and some rice vingegar for a bit more kick. The end result had a slightly different taste from teh sushi restaurants, but not quite the same.

Verdict: This stuff is cannot be substituted. I speculate it has a secret ingredient like whale semen. Pretty hard to beat.

I'd prefer the regular "garden variety" ones, as the Japanese mayonnaise's a bit bland, imo.

Japanese mayonnaise to me is not that strong so I actually do like it more than American mayonnaise.

I just picked up a bottle from a brand called Kenko and it's good. What I noitce about the flavor is the vinegar is like apple cider/rice wine. And it has a strong msg-like taste to it. Interesting there is no sugar at all and no carbs. I just wish it had more tang though, I like it that way...

Isn't Japanese mayo made of condensed milk? That stuff is bad for you

Try adding sriracha to the sauce. Sriracha is part of the ingredient in a California roll.

Yes, I do - it's the only mayo I'll buy.

I have avoided mayo like the plague, especially after making it from scratch once and being thoroughly grossed out. I was raised on Miracle Whip which had more vinegar.

But Japanese mayonnaise is a whole other issue. Its one of my guilty pleasures now that I have a roommate that insists on keeping it in the house. Usually get Kewpie brand, just because I know a sushi chef that uses it, but there are other comparable brands.

The difference? The distinct eggy flavor, instead of oily like Helman's.
