[title]A rich, velvet texture, umami taste and perfect narrow squiggles crisscrossing delicious treats – Kewpie mayo’s appeal to chefs and home cooks is no mystery. But did you know that Kewpie also makes a range of Japanese dressings that is an ideal style-up for ordinary dishes and is super easy to use? The result is food with an authentically Japanese taste that will have your mates and family marvelling at your kitchen prowess.
Kewpie Japanese Dressing Roasted Sesame has a strong nutty flavour and a thick and creamy consistency making it a beautiful condiment for salads with meats.
