Nattō

Natto (Japanese: 納豆, Hepburn: nattō) is a traditional Japanese food made from whole soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto. It is often served as a breakfast food with rice. It is served with karashi mustard, soy or tare sauce, and sometimes spring onion. Within Japan, natto is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kantō, Tōhoku, and Hokkaido. Natto is often considered an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky, slimy texture. A 2009 survey revealed that 70% of the 3,827 respondents found the taste pleasant, and others who may not find the taste pleasant still eat the food out of habit.
