Now that it's on my mind - I'm going to have to buy some and fairly soon. I wonder what I'd think if I bought natto too. In Japan I grew to sort of like it. But now it has been such a very long time since I've had it - it might have become an unacquired taste for me.
Nattō (納豆) is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans that have been fermented... It is often served as a breakfast food. It is served with karashi mustard, soy or tare sauce, and sometimes Japanese bunching onion. Nattō is often considered an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky, slimy texture. Within Japan, nattō is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kantō, Tōhoku, and Hokkaido, and a 2009 survey revealed that 70.2% of Japanese people find the taste pleasant, and others who may not find the taste of the food pleasant still eat it for health benefits.
Natto is hardcore. If you do try it - at first try a tiny bit mixed into something you like - like eggs or whatever. Even a tiny bit might make you go "Holy crap - what the fuck! People like this?"
