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.

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.

Kenko v Kewpie Mayonnaise

Kenko Mayonnaise has a milder, tangy and slightly sweet flavour making it ideal for those seeking a balanced and mild mayonnaise suitable for a wide range of dishes.

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.
