Another huge reason that the sandwich is so deliciously creamy is thanks to the addition of Kewpie mayo. While a Western egg salad that's often made for backyard barbecues or potluck parties uses standard mayonnaise, Kewpie mayo changes up the flavor just enough to be noticeable.
There are a few major differences between regular mayonnaise and Kewpie mayo. For starters, Kewpie mayo features a slightly more tangy and sweet flavor. It's also slightly more acidic than the standard spread, adding a little bit of extra flavor to every bite. Thanks to the strong flavors, only a little bit is needed to enhance your meal, allowing the egg yolks to prevail as the star of the sandwich.
Though Kewpie mayo may be more popular in Japan where it originated, the condiment can be found stateside in plenty of Asian specialty food stores. Some major retailers, like Target and Walmart may even carry it, depending on the location. But if you can't find it in person, you can always order it online.
