Do you try to eat?

Hello people,

Do you know fermented soy beans? In Japanese,it is called "natto",not NATO.

Including part of japanese,many people reject to eat because of the smell. Some people say it is disgusting. And some people say it is not smell of food. And some people say it is right rotten.

Far from it! It is not simply rotten but fermented. "fermented" is not equal to "rotten".

In the world,there are many fermented food,for example,Surströmming,it is Swedish. Natto is just one of the fermented food.

It's true that natto has a distinctive smell. But it contains many kind of nutrients,such as protein etc.

In general,natto is eaten with mustard,chopped leek,and soy sauce. In addition,there are ways to eat with raw egg,tuna or okra.

If you have opportunity to come to Japan, why don't you try to eat?
