Competitive eater Natsuko “Gal” Sone carries her own bottle of mayonnaise with her to restaurants. Japanese restaurants apparently have a more liberal outside condiment policy than Seinfeld’s coffee shop.

Actually many of these uses for mayo come from Europe. Remember that America is not the only place in the world that has influenced Japan, and that differences in food culture are not always “wacky” Japanese inventions. Mayo on chicken and frites (aka french fries) is a classic in France (where admitedly the mayo tends to be pretty darn good) and you also might eat it with vegetables, especially those that have been roasted.

Hey, I like mayo. That is one of the things I like the most about living in Japan. There is nothing better that okonomiyaki smoothered in it. It is a little bit on the fattening side, however.

Becca:

There are definately more varities of mayo in Japan, I’m not sure which one you got, though.

That dude who says “ma-yu” is actually saying “mai-u”, which is “umai”(delicious) spelled backwards. But since he’s so fat, I’m guessing he also loves mayonnaise.

Oh, Japan, why must you do this to me? Fried potato chips and mayonnaise WHAT.
By the way, in Japan, isn’t the mayonnaise in general more…spicy? I guess “zesty” or “sour” describes it better. I bought kewpie mayonnaise when I was there and it sure tasted different from the kind back in the states. I don’t know, I’m not some mayo connoiseur like that one Japanese talento who always said, “Ma-yu”

OK, Mayonaisse on pizza is going a little far but mayonaise with Karaage or tuna is great. By the way, I am sure the No. 6 on that list “Rice and mayonnaise” means rice, canned tuna and mayonaise.
