Kewpie's Legendary 1000 Island Dressing Returns with a Twist

Kewpie 1000 Island Dressing. Set to hit the nationwide market on
February 19, 2026, this classic dressing has been a staple for over 60 years. The new formula preserves the creamy richness that fans love while enhancing the balance of sweetness and acidity to align with modern consumer preferences.
A Timeless Taste Revamped
Originally introduced in
1963, the Kewpie 1000 Island Dressing was the company’s third dressing release after its popular French dressings. Known for its creamy texture and delightful pickled flavor, this dressing remains the top-selling flavor in Kewpie’s signature red cap series. Despite its longstanding popularity, the recipe had not seen significant changes over the years. Understandably, the evolving tastes of consumers prompted this much-needed refresh.
As promised, the revamped dressing will feature an improved blend of rich egg yolk and vibrant tomato essence, resulting in a robust yet pleasantly smooth finish that delights without overwhelming the palate.

April 2026. Feedback from the
2024 Kewpie Dressing & Non-Oil Election highlighted families expressing their love for the dressing paired with broccoli, demonstrating its unique ability to complement even the most distinct flavors. Many shared how this dressing enhances the taste of broccoli, making it a favorite in their meals.
