Japan's love affair with mayonnaise runs deep, especially with the iconic Kewpie brand. Crafted from egg yolks, oil, spices, and apple vinegar, Kewpie offers a milder flavor profile than competitors, as noted by Mashable. To celebrate this passion, Kewpie is launching dedicated "mayonnaise cafés." The first opens in Tokyo this March, followed by a second in Nagoya in April.
Visitors can savor innovative dishes like mayo-marinated chicken, tuna-mayo sandwiches, mayo omelets, and classic deviled eggs. Prices start at 1,600 yen (around €13.5) for chicken with mayonnaise and 400 yen (about €3.5) for a sauce-infused dessert. Delicious innovation or bold experiment—you decide!
Hot on the heels of pea-mayo pizza, mayonnaise continues its culinary ascent.
