Kewpie (キユーピー, Kyūpī) (English: /kjuːpi/ KYOO-pee) is a Japanese brand of mayonnaise produced by the Kewpie Corporation (キユーピー株式会社, Kyūpī kabushikigaisha). It has a unique flavor, often attributed to its use of egg yolks in place of the whole eggs used in most brands of mayonnaise. Kewpie mayonnaise is associated with the tamago sando, the egg salad sandwich sold in konbini operated by 7-Eleven Japan.
Kewpie is the best-selling mayonnaise in Japan, and is also sold in other countries. Kewpie Corporation also produces a number of other condiments, including salad dressings, pasta sauces, and mustard sauce. Their main exports are mayonnaise and salad dressings. Domestically, they also sell and produce processed food such as kimipuchi for commercial use.
