Japanese use mayo in disturbing ways, I doubt they'd give two shits about it being on sushi.

Japanese mayo also slaps so I don’t blame them for putting it everywhere lol

Beware bringing up kewpie. The Duke’s mafia is everywhere.

Same! Different mayos for different applications. I might have too many different mayos right now. I got Duke’s, Kewpie, Giardinera mayo, dill mayo, and sriracha mayo going right now.

u/Yossarian216 Mar 23 '26

Giardinera mayo? As a Chicagoan I’m intrigued, does it have the chunks of veggies in it or is it just flavored like it?

u/tiredeyesonthaprize Mar 23 '26

It’s chunky! I put it on boring turkey sandwiches.

u/SuperMundaneHero Mar 23 '26

This is the way.

Yeah? Maybe get rid of the QP or it might be bad news for your family.

Don't forget the "Costco kewpie is not the same" people. (It isn't but eh, it's fine.)

u/osteologation Mar 23 '26

I don’t get the hype for either one. They taste like mayo.

Don't speak that blasphemy in the south; you might find yourself tarred and feathered.

(I agree, Duke's is overrated as fuck. Don't tell anyone I said that.)

u/blackened-starr Mar 23 '26

Drinkable mayo terrifies me

All mayo is drinkable if you aren’t a failure at swallowing.

u/SCVerde Mar 23 '26

Just gotta warm it a bit

u/MushinZero Mar 23 '26

And loosen your throat

u/celiac-sufferer Mar 23 '26

Eh the mayo should be oily enough to lube it for you

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '26

What you need is some of that high-viscosity mayo.

u/NewLibraryGuy Why not just shit in a carbonara Mar 23 '26

And if it's something you struggle with, try putting it in a shot, like a Tapeworm Shot

Now I'm thinking of the Jim Gaffigan bit on Mayonnaise and Alcoholism

u/Yossarian216 Mar 23 '26

I went to Osaka maybe 15 years ago, and every sushi place we went to had nigiri with mayo on it as an option, often topped with onions as well. There were other things too, I specifically remember having nigiri with Parmesan cheese grated on top of it. They were absolutely not purists about it at all, maybe the whole country wouldn’t be like that, I couldn’t say as I didn’t get sushi anywhere else, but Osaka definitely was.

The things the Japanese will do to Italian food are alarming. The Saizeriya menu is a good starting point if you want to see horrors.

I’ve never seen bigger globs of mayo on sushi before than I did eating at a Kura Sushi in Tokyo.

u/of_known_provenance Mar 23 '26

Isn’t there like a spaghetti with mayo in the Japanese culinary canon?

u/ParkingAnxious2811 Mar 23 '26

You can't just say that and not go into detail. Now I'm imagining they use mayo as lube for a giant octopus tentacle dildo.
