#151 Natto

i just ate this stuff for the first time, and well... here is what i have to say.
the smell is comparable to dirty gym clothes but not really that bad. the taste is just a little strong and a little bitter, kinda almost similar to some cheeses which was not as bad as people made it out to be... the consistency takes some getting used to though but i ate it all up.. i followed the comment below and used soy sauce and green onions and it tasted not bad plus i read this stuff is really good for you

It is the weirdest food I've ever eaten, but once it's mixed up with soy sauce, scallion, and mustard (and added to hot rice seasoned with a bit of vinegar) - oh yes and the bonito flakes too.. it was actually kind of yummy. However, I like smelly cheese, strong curries, and kimchee.

Whoa i love Natto, it`s really delicious. And hey most people also eat cheese, and when I think about how chesse is made and how some cheese smells, I wouldn`t eat that too... O_O

Like many other Japanese food, natto has amazing medical benefits. (Details on Wikipedia.)

dang i agree with you. this stuff is horrible. i thought it was going to be good cause japanese food is amazing, and it didnt look to bad, but the smell should have been a warning for me haha

Hey Sarah,

Not to far from here is a New Jersey mall called Mitsuwa mall. They had Natto there and we bought. It is pretty good. It was a little strange at first but I got the hang of it eventually. Thanks for the vid. Ill try it this way next time..

kind a weird video :S

Muito bom pra saúde...

what a sexy voice^^

I just tried some, I swear it's texture and feel is somewhere about in between cottage cheese and peanuts.
