The Ultimate Burger Hack: Why Umei Mayo Makes Every Bite Better

Discover how to take your burgers to the next level with Japanese-inspired sauces that add creaminess, umami, and balance — all without eggs.

A great burger is more than the sum of its parts. The perfectly seared patty, the soft toasted bun, the crisp lettuce — they all matter. But what truly makes a burger memorable is the sauce.

A well-chosen sauce adds richness, balance, and depth, bringing all the elements together into one satisfying bite. It’s the difference between a good burger and one you can’t stop thinking about.

Umei’s range of Japanese-inspired mayos brings that next-level flavour without the heaviness of traditional mayonnaise. Made entirely from plants yet luxuriously smooth, each variant offers its own take on indulgence — cleaner, lighter, but still irresistibly creamy.

For a touch of heat, Gochugaru Mayo layers smoky Korean chilli over velvety mayo, creating a subtle spice that enhances grilled or charred flavours. It’s the perfect match for a beef burger or as a dip for fries and onion rings.

Those who prefer something bright and zesty will find Yuzu Mayo to be a refreshing companion to seafood or vegetable burgers. The Japanese citrus adds a delicate tang that cuts through richness, leaving a light, clean finish.

Meanwhile, Uma Seaweed Mayo delivers a deep umami note that complements earthy ingredients like mushrooms or tofu. Its savoury complexity turns a simple meal into something restaurant-worthy.

Whether layered into a classic cheeseburger or brushed onto a plant-based patty, Umei elevates comfort food with bold, Asian-inspired flavours — all while remaining completely egg-free and vegan-friendly.

Because sometimes, the smallest tweak — the right sauce — is all it takes to transform a familiar favourite into something unforgettable.
