@Sturgist yes I am!
I have heard good things about kewpie! But I have *also* heard British people say it tastes just like something we have here called salad cream, which is bewildering as nobody under about 70 would generally admit to liking salad cream
I live in Scotland. Anyone who tells you Kewpie tastes like salad cream needs to stop drinking petrol…
I guess there’s a bit of a similar umami to both, Kewpie because it’s made with dashi (seaweed and fish stock) though it doesn’t have enough to taste of dashi…if that makes sense.
I assume salad cream has something like an 80 year fermentation period before it’s “done” stuff is mingin 🤮
I’d look for an Asian supermarket. Pretty sure they do sell it at Sainsbury’s, but I think the last time I was too lazy to go further than Sainsbury’s I ended up paying £2-3 more than at the Asian market.

@Sturgist it’s absolutely rank 😂 that gives me more confidence to bother buying some kewpie. Think they sell it in Sainsbury’s…
