They say Kewpie began making mayonnaise with egg yolks in 1925, and this commercial highlights how, ever since then, they’ve been thinking about ways to utilize the unused egg whites and shells from mayonnaise production.

Salad of HappinessFukuyama Masaharu

In Kewpie Half’s “Quiche Toast Broccoli” commercial, Masaharu Fukuyama’s song “Shiawase no Salad” (Salad of Happiness) is featured.

Although the song appears on his 2020 album “AKIRA,” its gentle, catchy melody had already drawn attention from its use in commercials before the album’s release.

Vegetables grown in many different places come together on the home table to become a salad, nourishing us humans.

The song carries a deep message: the things we take for granted aren’t truly guaranteed, and we should give thanks every day.

It’s a track that makes you want to appreciate the people who grow the ingredients, transport them, sell them, and the parents who prepare the meals.
