Meaning

マヨネーズ (まよねーず, Mayonēzu) is Mayonnaise, a Japanese food (dairy products, foreign foods, spices garnish dips sauces).

What is Mayonnaise?

Mayonēzu (mayonnaise) in Japan is typically made with apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar and a small amount of MSG, which gives it a different flavor from mayonnaise made from distilled vinegar. Apart from salads, it is popular with dishes such as okonomiyaki , takoyaki, and yakisoba and may also accompany katsu and kara-age . It is most often sold in soft plastic squeeze bottles. Its texture is thicker than most Western commercial mayonnaise in part because only egg yolks and not the entire egg is used when making it.
