    This stuff is like crack to me

      username checks out.

  • Are the flavoured versions any good?

    • +2

      I have the wasabi flavour with dumplings.

    • +3

      Even better than the original IMO

    • +7

      Sriracha flavour is amazing on sandwiches or as a base for other sauces/dips.

    • +2

      Sriracha is my go-to for most foods now, not a big fan of wasabi overall but it's great on steak.

    Amazon has price matched the sriracha flavour

      Thanks, updated the post.

    STCG approves

    I love these with oven baked herbed chips and nuggets. Add some sweet chilli sauce as well! Yummy! Original flavor.

  • So apparently there's a made in Japan version that is supposed to be better.

    Anyone know where you can get that?

    • +2

      Mmm? Do tell, I have this and while it's good it doesn't taste quite right compared to my local Japanese takeaway. I suppose it's a difference in umami.

      Keen to get that sheer tastiness.

      • +2

        Try J-Basket Maxmayo if you want Japanese restaurant mayo taste. It is actually cheaper than Kewpie, and in my opinion tastes better.

        • interested, they have wasabi+sriracha version too or link plz

    • +6

      I heard from one of my sources that you can get them from Japan.

      • +5

        You have a sauce source?

        • +1

          Where's the source!

    • Suzran, Camberwell. Not even daiso has the jap. ones.
      Though can you tell the difference between the two?

    • +1

      Someone posted something about the Japanese version having a higher egg yolk content and therefore couldn’t be imported in. Maybe this is why you can’t get it here.

      • Darn. Thanks for the info.

      • +1

        You can get them. The big Kewpie Mayo (1L or something) at Coles is made in Japan rather than Thailand

    • These small bottles from Woolies and Coles are Made in Thailand… I suspect your big bottles (they're either 800g or 1kg off the top of my head) from an Asian Grocer will be Made in Japan. Certainly from a Japanese grocer.

      I can taste a slight difference - but probably couldn't pick between the two in a blind taste test.

    • +2

      Fun fact, Australian version has red background with white stripes. Japanese version has white background with red stripes.

      Yo monty … re:

      "Anyone know where you can get that?"

      Yeppers. Japan.

  • Its great product

  • +3

    Lately I've been making tuna salad sandwiches with kewpie but instead of tuna sometimes I go with a tin of sardines. It's not for everyone but if you like sardines, give er a go

  • +3

    awesome stuff this, I use it a lot - mostly use on top of the stories I tell

  • +2

    Keep in mind most Asian grocers have the 1kg varieties for under $10 as an everyday price,

    • +1

      Spud Shed also has the 1kg variant and I'm fairly certain it goes for less than $10. Which is better value than this deal.

  • +1

    The famed YBS secret sauce…..yewww!

  • +2

    how does this compare to everyday egg ones from mainstream brands like Praise? I've never tried Kewpie brand, although obviously heard about and seen it.

    • +2

      Kewpie is amazing. Worth $3 to try it at least.

    • +2

      Kewpie sh*ts all over Praise. Praise dosent even hold a light to it. So much creamier and nicer. So much more things I would eat with Kewpie compared to Praise.

      • I used to like Eta Mayo, but can't get that anymore. I found it had a nice bite to it (prob extra vinegar or lemon juice). Is this smooth or does it have a bite to it?

      • +1

        Yep. No contest. Kewpie all the way.

    • Japanese "mayo" is not the same as traditional mayo. Not better - just different.

  • +1

    $7.99 for 1kg at SpudShed

    • But is it the favored versions or original only?

  • Yuzu flavour is the best on bread and toasted under the grill. Pity that flavour seems to have gone missing from supermarkets. Can still buy it at Daiso.

  • Anyone know about whether this has gluten?
    Really hard to find info

    • +1

      I don't think any mayo has gluten.

    • +1

      Like Lurk said, most mayo brands don't have gluten in them. Various sources say that Kewpie doesn't have gluten in it, though I could find "gluten-free" versions of Kewpie online so I'm not sure what that's about.

    If you love it as much as I do buy it bulk

    I love making Japanese fried rice with this stuff

    • +1

      wow, fried rice with mayo?

      • never try? try once and see the amazing end result

      • +2

        Try putting a smear of mayo on the outside of your toasties instead of butter, it'll change your life.

    Has 621 which is MSG folks.
    Don't think I'll be buying it again after my trial run

    • +1

      What's wrong with MSG?

      • +3

        Nothing wrong with it. Just western propoganda back in the day to discourage people from going to Asian restaurants.

        Still going strong!

        Being allergic to MSG is like being allergic to salt and sugar. Have you ever met anyone allergic to salt and sugar? 😂 MSG just triggers the newest taste sense called umami.

        • +3

          Agreed.

          Also, the key is moderation… be it sugar, salt or MSG.

        • my husband actually got a huge headache after eating an MSG laden meal from a restaurant in Chinatown, Sydney back in the 80's. so I think some people can't tolerate it.

          • +1

            @souths123: "MSG does not trigger headaches. Some foods have been linked to migraines, but neither glutamate nor MSG has been shown to be a direct cause, even after extensive research with huge oral doses of glutamate"

            "Glutamate is among the most common amino acids (building blocks of protein in our food and bodies) in nature. It is a natural flavor enhancer, and is prevalent in foods like mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and tomatoes. The glutamate in MSG seasoning and the glutamate in many foods we enjoy as part of our normal diets, like vegetables, cheese, fish and meat, is exactly the same and is treated by the body in exactly the same way no matter what the source. For this reason is it unlikely that people are sensitive to MSG."

            https://glutamate.org/safety/myths-versus-facts-about-msg-si…

            Gee whee! Your husband must find mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and meat headache inducing as well. My sympathies.

            • -4

              @Gherty: omg I don't care what their findings are. He got a massive headache after that meal

              • +2

                @souths123: that's just psychosomatic. MSG is literally salt, not poison.

              • +2

                @souths123: Of course you don't care, that's why you falsely attribute it to MSG even despite all the studies.

              • @souths123: The point is that it was not the MSG that caused the headache.
                Same as I don't eat periwinkles because I got really sick after eating them as a kid. But I acknowledge I was wrong to blame the periwinkles.

                That's why they say to get straight back on the horse if you fall off. I've also never ridden a horse since being thrown. So now I avoid horses and periwinkles, and your husband avoids MSG, all for invalid reasons.
