I love that stuff. I can't say if the Chinese are into Japan mayo or any
kind of mayo at all. OTOH, that honey walnut shrimp is good stuff!

One thing I don't care for the bottle the Japan mayo comes in. The
polyethylene bottle is kinda creepy feeling and it sits like a giant
white sea slug in your refrigerator. The shape makes it hard to get all
of the product out. They should put that in cartridges so you can
squeeze it out of a gun like caulk. Hee hee.
