TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: This is one of the most popular salads in Japan and everyone knows how to make it. It is easy to make and its flavour depends on which mayonnaise to use and the amount of seasonings.
It is very similar to the American macaroni salad but... better LOL. Because Japanese mayo has a very different flavor from mayo in the US, Japanese Macaroni Salad tastes quite different.
In Japan, Macaroni Salad can be found at supermarket delis, hot Bento shops, and even convenience stores.
Japanese Macaroni Salad is not a main dish but it only an accompaniment to a main dish.
