0 days in Japan: Why is he eating a cat food?

[whyistheway]

If you don’t know, natto is fermented soya beans that are fermented in rice stalks (I edited this due to my incorrect statement of using “bamboo leaves”which was corrected by @Crypterion_moon, thank you) traditionally. The smell is shocking the first time you try it, and the natto is covered with a sticky “nebba nebba” coating which gets everywhere. I puked every time I smelt it for weeks, then my darling wife insisted that I get used to it. “ It is good for your health” she always used to say. So to help, she cooked it with fried onion and minced beef. The beef absorbs the stickiness and the onion obscures the dreadful smell. These days I love eating it, and fun fact, that sticky “nebba nebba” stuff when dried is being used to help deserts retain water enough to grow vegetation. Studies continue in Africa regarding its use.

I find it hilarious that he doesn’t look any less defeated each time he eats the natto.

Props to cameraman for recording this man 10 years straight

Respect to everyone who genuinely enjoys the stuff. I'm japanese and grew up in hawaii my entire life. Maybe my tastes are too americanized but I cannot do the stuff lol, the texture gets me everytime. The smell just reminds of kid days when my dad would crack a pack open and not finish it and it'd stink up the whole fridge 😂. He swears by the stuff but it's definitely an acquired taste

20 years in Japan: "oh it's cat food..."

Watching foreigners try natto is one of Japan's national pastimes!

“Itadakimasu” what i hear: “eat it like you must”

I lived at Japan for ten years and is still at the first day progress.

For first timers, you MUST stirr the natto enough times and then SEASON your nattou, usually with a bit of mustard and a type of soy sauce (pre-seasoned with dashi&mirin), stirr to incorporate. This is how you start. Don't eat it straight out of the package like I did the first time. It's drastically different for me. I enjoy it almost every day now. 😂

A combination I've been fond of lately: nattou&Thai instant noodle in creamy tomyam soup flavor(Nissin brand).❤

I'm terrified of natto, but then again I am Swedish and like surströmming 😂

Nattō is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. It has an ammonia-like smell and mucus-like consistency that makes it polarising, even among people who grow up with it. A 2017 survey by Nifty, a Japanese internet service provider, found that only about 62% of Japanese people actually enjoy nattō.

my brain didn’t have enough time to process that last ‘itadakimasu’

[racheljensen]

I notice as time goes on, he gets more and more food to help the natto go down ;)

"NATttoo" bought me off guard😂😂😂

[hogonalog]

I tried natto and really enjoyed it. Everyone thought i was crazy but i ended up eating the whole container. It did give me ✨️electric sharts✨️ but 10/10 would eat again.

Natto is also eaten in north east india. We called in hawai-jar or hawai-chakk in meiteilon/manipuri

If anyone is wondering, you stir about 20 cycles to activate the healthy bacteria nattokin.
Also, furikake with your raw egg natto and gohan goes insanely hard.
