Kewpie Corporation, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is launching a new initiative under their 'Salad First' strategy. This movement emphasizes enjoying vegetables alongside favorite dishes, encapsulated in the slogan 'with vegetables.' As part of this strategy, Kewpie has collaborated with renowned vegetable chef Mao Nishioka to create two innovative salad bowls that will be available at their salad and delicacy shop, Deli Comer, from September 18 to October 1, 2026.
The two featured salad bowls – the "Refreshing Salmon Bowl with Aromatic Herbs and Citrus Harmony" and the "Rich Spicy Pork Bowl with Deep Umami and Balsamic Flavor" – reflect contemporary American food trends by focusing on bold flavors and the citrus tartness. Indeed, these bowls not only tantalize the taste buds but also offer a feast for the eyes with their vibrant colors.
Refreshing Salmon Bowl
The star of the "Refreshing Salmon Bowl" is the grilled salmon enhanced with lemon herb salt, adding a delightful crispness to the dish. Accompanied by a salad made of contrasting textures like citrus-infused celery salad and lime-flavored cauliflower, this bowl offers a refreshing burst of flavors. The dressing—a cleverly crafted honey mustard lemon dressing provided a perfect balance between sweetness and tartness—complements the fresh ingredients exceptionally well.
Rich Spicy Pork Bowl
On the other hand, the "Rich Spicy Pork Bowl" features tender, shredded BBQ pulled pork infused with an array of spices. It is enriched by sautéed mushrooms with balsamic flavor, corn spiced with chili and lime, and a tangy coleslaw that amalgamates rich umami with a spicy kick. The creamy and delicious Cobb salad dressing elevates the ensemble, as it binds the deep flavors of the pulled pork with the various components' tartness and spice.
