Nattō (Fermented Soy Beans) is a traditional Japanese food. I love it and I often eat it for lunch. I know many people hate it because of its smell and slimy texture, but many people are interested in Nattō and want to eat it for health benefits. I recommend to choose Nattō made of small Soy Beans, and mix with something you like. Spicy food such as Kimchi goes well with Nattō. Try my ‘Spicy Natto & Avocado Rice Bowl’ OR ‘Natto, Kimchi & Egg Rice Bowl’. Here is another suggestion for you to try.
