There are many local strange foods in each country. I guess they might be Vegemite from Australia, black pudding from England, century egg from China and more.
We also have some strange food in Japan and many travelers to Japan say they are not so much delicious! The most famous strange food is Natto.
Natto なっとう
Natto is made from soybeans, and it has been fermented. Usually, you eat it at breakfast with hot steamed rice. It’s very sticky and the white gooey strings stretch out when you mix it. The test is savory and a little salty because you add some soy sauce flavor seasoning that is already attached in a natto package. Do you feel natto is delicious? Many Japanese people eat natto and natto is served at a hotel breakfast in Japan in general. However even some Japanese people don’t like natto and almost all visitors to Japan don’t like natto. Why? Because it has strong smell!! It’s a fermented food so it smells unique and unbelievable. You need to try it! You can buy it at Japanese grocery stores.
Natto package
Natto is usually sold for 3set. 3 natto packages are almost 125 yen.
A seasoning and Japanese spicy mustard are already attached.
First tear off the plastic cover and add the seasoning and mustard.
The most important point is mix it well. It’s about 100 times so it gets stickier and gooier.
How to eat natto
You usually eat natto with rice. Natto is very healthy and full of nutritious so you can eat it as you like. I like to eat it on a tofu. Both tofu and natto are made from soybeans so it’s very healthy.
How about with curry and rice? It looks like covered with a brown blanket.
