Japanese Macaroni Salad

This is one of the most popular salads in Japan, I think. It is easy to make and its flavour depends on which mayonnaise to use and the amount of seasonings. Fresh onion and sweet corn are essential for my salad. This salad strangely brings back the memory of the tacky kitchen in a little house where my family used to live when I was very young. Those days my mother often used fish meat sausages instead of ham slices. I wonder if those fish meat sausages are still available in Japan.
