About us

Welcome to The Umami Bros, where our love for food meets real-world know-how.
We’re the trio who kicked off this mayo venture during lockdown, and now we’re proudly supplying restaurants and wholesalers across the UK!

our story

Made in Lockdown. Built on Flavour.
 
We’re the Umami Bros – three friends who started experimenting with flavour during the chaos of lockdown 2020. What began as a home kitchen obsession quickly became a mission: to craft a Japanese-style mayo with a British heart.
 
Finding the right ingredients wasn’t easy. Sourcing during COVID meant delays, dead ends, and a lot of trial and error. But after months of testing and tweaking, we landed on a recipe we loved – rich, smooth, and bursting with umami.
 
Born from craving, built with care – this is mayo made for flavour fans, by flavour fans.
