    Immersion blenders have more versatility. It’s not hard to make mayo, you don’t need a specific machine. You don’t need half the gadgets out there. Get yourself a pressure cooker, a great blender/immersion, a stand mixer and a great set of knives. You’ll be fine

    The Japanese Mayo Kewpie has somehow become a world favorite and honestly I understand why. But it’s SOOOO interesting how people who know the Japanese mayonnaise brand and probably have it in their fridge don’t even know about the baby mascot. Listen the name kewpie should honestly ring a bell?! Have a close look at the baby’s back and you will see a pair of wings. The creator of the kewpie doll is actually and American female Cartoonist names Rosie O’Neill, she said that the little fairylike baby doll came to her in a dream, and she named it Kewpie, named after the Roman God of love and lust “Cupid”, this was in the early 1900’s. Kewpie was introduced to Japan via a fusion anime based on the original kewpie cartoon series. And this is how kewpie was adopted by Japan. Kewpie dolls are also the mascot of many American brands, burger chains and so on.

    The original Rosie O’Neill kewpie dolls made by her is worth a fortune today and the old school rubber Japanese version is also worth a lot because it became a collectors item.

    I hope this answers your question about the baby on the front of the Japanese mayonnaise brand Kewpie.

    This is a unitasker that could be replicated with a number of other appliances (or a whisk). Also, why are we still pretending to hide from things that aren't bad for us? We're not "mimicking the flavor" of MSG using dashi powder. Dashi (which is great in it's own right) contains glutamate…IT'S CHEMICALLY THE SAME THING. Just like "uncured" bacon that contains celery extract…STILL NITRITE. 

    This sounds really negative. I really like Esther and that chicken looks wonderful! 🙂

    Interesting gadget but doubt I'd use enough mayo to keep it very busy….however a gift for that foodie you know that has dang near everything why now 🙂 I'm sure the Kewpie is an association or reference to the old Kewpie dolls why they would use that got no idea.

    I thought Kewpie was for "Kewpie doll" … I never understood why mayonnaise was named for a doll though… It explains the picture of the house of the Kewpie doll on the front…

    I wish kewpie mayonnaise was more available here in germany. They only sell the mini version in very few asian stores but for around 6€ and that's just really expensive for mayonnaise even though kewpie mayo is super delicious and much better than german brands (to me at least). It actually tastes like something and has seasoning.
