About Umei
Hi, we’re Umei™ — Where Flavour Meets Culture.
U = Umami (deliciousness), Mei = 味 ('flavour' in Chinese)
At Umei Foods, we craft Asian-inspired sauces and plant-based mayos that celebrate culture through bold, unforgettable taste. From the citrus pop of Yuzu to the gentle warmth of Gochugaru, our mayos are vegan-friendly, egg-free, and made to bring joy and convenience to every meal.
Inspired by the richness of Asian food culture, Umei isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about the memories, moments, and connections that food creates.
Our Philosophy
We believe you don’t need to be a chef to cook something crave-worthy.
We believe indulgence and wellness can co-exist.
We believe in pantry shortcuts that spark joy.
We believe flavour is self-care.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Sarah, founder of Umei Foods. I grew up in Hong Kong and now live in Australia, where I’ve always seen food as more than just fuel. After founding Alg Seaweed in 2017, I created Umei to help people cook (and eat) with confidence using flavours that feel both familiar and fresh.
Our Mission
Umei exists to make your meals bolder, easier, and more joyful because when flavour is fearless, life gets more delicious.
