Kenko mayonnaise is a flagship product of the Kenko Corporation, renowned for its thick creamy texture and balanced, rich flavour that has made it a staple in Japanese kitchens and a popular condiment around the world.
Rich, umami flavour
It was introduced to the Japanese market as an alternative to Western mayonnaise, tailored with a focus on richer umami flavours and a wonderful balance of tanginess and sweetness.
Kenko is made with only the egg yolk rather than whole egg and uses rice vinegar as a base rather than white wine vinegar, giving it delicate tangy citrus-notes. The addition of mustard seed and spices give it a slight kick and greater depth of flavour.
Versatile ingredient
Kenko mayonnaise is a key ingredient in many Japanese dishes like okonomiyaki (savoury egg pancakes), takoyaki (octopus balls), and potato salad. It makes a delicious egg mayonnaise sandwich and is often used as a dipping sauce for fried foods and a topping for various street foods.
It can also be used in baking to create moist cakes and in cooking to add richness to sauces and dressings.
Store in a cool, dark and dry place. Refrigerate after opening.

Kewpie Mayonnaise offers a deep, rich, savoury and umami-packed flavour perfect for dishes that require a more intense experience where mayonnaise plays the central role.
