You want this burger rare in the middle. Kewpie mayo is a Japanese mayo that uses rice vinegar instead of distilled vinegar which gives it a sweeter tang. It does contain MSG so if you are sensitive to it use regular mayo

These tuna burgers were just okay. I think I would have liked them more if I had used a different type of bread.

These tuna burgers were a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish.

The tuna burgers were easy to make and had a good flavor. However, I found that the kewpie mayo was a bit too sweet for my taste.

These tuna burgers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some extra spices or herbs.
