What is natto?

Nattō is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans

 A 2017 survey by Nifty, a Japanese internet service provider, found that only about 62% of Japanese people actually enjoy nattō. It also revealed that 13% actively dislike the taste. Regardless, many eat it anyway because of the health benefits.



Nattō is very stinky. You definitely notice the smell, Japanese news site SoraNews24 has gone as far as to declare that "a pack of natto a day keeps the death away”






To prepare nattō, you simply stir the three items and then pour the sticky concoction over a bowl of steamed white rice. 




Other ingredients commonly used to spruce up the dish are chopped negi (spring onions) and raw egg. When you lift your chopsticks to eat the end result, each bite is trailed by sticky strings.


In Japan, it’s most common to eat nattō for breakfast.
