Post WWII america westernized Japan and brought them things that 1950s Americans enjoyed like the 50s obsession with Mayo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uses soybean oil instead of vegetable or canola, more egg yolks, rice vinegar and a dash of ground mustard. It has a more custard-like texture. No sugar or HFC. It ain't that bland shit Kraft sells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraft has a Kewpie mayo company in Japan. It's like how Mars is a candy bar company though they also make Pedigree dog food and Whiskers cat food. Japanese mayo though is just miracle whip. It's a sweet mayo rather than a tangy mayo. Mostly due to rice vinegar being less acidic than white vinegar. It's just adjusted to their tastes. Saying it's superior though would be like saying american asian food or sushi is superior to Japanese or Chinese food; just because it's adapted to american tastes.

Just imagine the agony of being a zygote and having your entire body ripped completely into two! And then each of those bodies experiencing the same thing over and over and over again. All while being compacted within the prison of the former ovum's zona pellucida! There's a reason they call it "growing pains"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a source on Kewpie being owned by Kraft? Afaict, Kewpie was and still is a Japanese product manufactured in Japan by a Japanese company. And no, it's not Miracle Whip. Btw, Kewpie was in Japan in 1925, so it wasn't a WWII Americanization of 50s tastes. WWI, maybe, but only very indirectly. Toichiro Nakashima was just introducing a new condiment to Japan, along with some other stuff he encountered while studying food tech in the US after the war as part of his job with the Agriculture ministry. The Japanese didn't pick it up from Americans bringing it to them, as they did with so many things post WWII. In this case it was their countryman who came here and then he brought it to them, customized for the Japanese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihon Kraft ltd does have a mayo for japanese markets but it's not "Kewpie" the brand, just in that style. I guess like how Sriracha got big then we saw like 100 knockoff Sriracha brands made by big companies; even Heinz which is also merged with kraft has a Sriracha. Though it's different than what I was thinking like how Hershey makes and distributes Cadbury products in America etc Conglomerates and subsidiaries. As for mayo though it depends on what you're using it for. If I were having a sandwhich I'd want some Mayo. If I'm eating something hot then Kewpie is better, and Whip can just go in the trash. Kewpie tastes closer to whip but Kewpie is by far better just because of texture and it's not nearly as sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
