I became hooked on Kewpie mayonnaise after a trip to Japan. I especially loved it in simple tuna and mayo rolls. They were my go-to snack while traveling.
This mayonnaise is so good and seems to go with everything! Unfortunately, it’s still difficult to find in my area and needs to be special ordered.
Why would you use mayo on sushi such as americans do?
Many people like it. One famous example is the spicy tuna roll. Have you tried one of those?
My search has landed me here. Heard this from a friend and I’ve been looking to know what it’s all about and used for. Now, I know. Thanks.
