Miso is fermented soy loaded with salt which gives it taste. Soy sauce is a miso production by product also loaded with salt. Many international flavorings are also loaded with salt. The Japanese love salty foods. Nori is great and a possible world food source and is available in several flavors. It's often eaten as a snack. Nori is a good addition to soups and salads and has a very long shelf life. Green tea/matcha is bitter. I find it easier to use in bulk by adding other herbs and spices as a food flavoring. Natto was very well explained.
Just ate a package of nori roasted in olive oil that a friend gifted me. It's quite tasty. Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure where I might find natto locally - perhaps online?
Roasted nori is really good! You can definitely eat them like chips, albeit a more expensive but healthier version. Natto will usually be refrigerated, more likely frozen that you can thaw out at home. Try the Japanese grocer Miyamoto Épicerie Japonaise. There seem to be a few other Korean and Japanese grocers in that area also.
Unless you make it yourself, which is a whole process, I don't think you can. The Asia Food Market and most other Asian grocers carry it in the freezer. It's imported from Japan and we just put it in the fridge and let it though out.
