In my book, Hellman’s is officially old news; instead Kewpie mayonnaise has taken its place on my refrigerator door. (I never thought this day would come. I’ve been a very, very loyal fan to Hellman’s for last 28 years.)

Moving on, Kewpie mayo is Japanese in origin; kind of reminds me of Blue Plate, in that it is a bit sweeter than Hellman’s, but by no means as sweet as Miracle Whip (which is technically not mayo; it is “salad dressing”); it’s a bit thicker than American style mayo; and comes in a plastic bottle that is as squeezable as a tube of toothpaste. (The Japanese have the coolest packaging—hands down!)

This mayo makes a great dipping sauce for French fries (which is very healthy, by the way), or you can smear it all over a turkey sandwich. Heck, you could just eat a spoonful it’s so tasty!
