Kewpie nutrition: calories, sugar and salt compared

Every Kewpie product in our database broken down by calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat, and checked against NHS daily reference intakes for children aged 4 to 17.

Japanese mayonnaise differs from the standard European style in using egg yolks alone and rice vinegar, which makes it richer per gram. It is used in smaller quantities as a result.

How it compares to standard mayonnaise

Yolk-only mayonnaise carries more fat per gram than whole-egg versions, so the per-100g figure sits higher.

In practice it is used as a finishing sauce rather than a spread, so a realistic serving is smaller.

Serving size in practice

A tablespoon is the useful comparison point rather than 100g, and at that level the difference between styles narrows considerably.

Salt content is comparable to standard mayonnaise, with the addition of MSG in some varieties.
