Kewpie mayonnaise from Japan is hands down the BEST (and most $$$$) mayo in the entire universe..

Oddly, it's on the Walmart web site. Doesn't seem prohibitively costly-for the best mayo in the universe, that is. Challenge accepted!

C'mon, let's get this thread to 400. :-)

Good deal :-) !
Be mindful of the cap as there are two types of openings.
The red flip-top dispenses a thin stream of mayo.
Remove the red cap and it dispenses a star shaped stream.

BTW - We have a LOT of Koreans here in Atlanta thus a LOT of Korean grocery stores. I stock up on the Korean Kewpie knockoff (Ottogi Gold Mayo) mayo when it’s on sale ($2.99 - $3.99).

Not as good as Kewpie but pretty darn close..

Challenge accepted to the 400th post!
Met a gal from Japan while in college here in ATL.
She taught me a LOT about Japanese food. One of my favorite Japanese recipes is Japanese potato salad..

Japanese Potato Salad (Setsuko’s mom’s recipe):

Cube and boil potatoes in salted water. (desired QTY - see HINT below)
- When potatoes are done drain only and allow them to cool to room temp.
(I don’t rinse with cold water upon draining as you
want the cubes dry before mixing all ingredients - the residual heat dries them well)

THINLY slice one large cucumber and sprinkle with salt (Sea, Kosher or even table salt - The European cukes are great for this dish).
-Let the salted cukes “brine” for about 15-30 minutes to remove as much water as possible. Afterwards, rinse w/cold water and squeeze them (lightly to medium) in paper towels or dish cloth to remove remaining surface water.

THINLY slice one small to medium onion (white or yellow).
(Inexpensive (under $10) mandolins are great for slicing the cukes and onions. Try to slice as thinly as possible)

Mash the cooled potato cubes with a fork (just like you’re going to make mashed potatoes) and then add the sliced cukes and sliced onion. Add the Kewpie mayo as you fold in the cukes and onion into the mashed potatoes.

Chill in frig if desired.

HINT - I like 2 parts potatoes to 1 part cukes AND onion.
That CRUNCH of the cukes and the very, very unique taste of Kewpie mayo (or the Ottogi brand) really make this dish (which is GREAT with fried chicken).

Bon appetit.
