I love this! Thanks for reviewing ❤
Thanks so much Shanti! I'm glad you liked it. Natto is one of the healthiest foods in Japan and although it looks kind of scary, it tastes really nice.😋
For a healthy food. I think it would be a good drinking snack/meal.
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching.Yes, it goes really well with any kind of alcohol really. One of my favorite recipes is in an omelet with cheese - easy to make and goes great with beer.🍺
As someone who's constantly interested in konbini foods in Japan, your channel is great. Subscribed, keep it up mate 👍
Hey there, Carlos! Welcome aboard - I was so glad to hear you've been enjoying the channel so far. Japanese konbini foods have such a depth of variety, there's always something new to talk about. Cheers!😋
You're brave to eat this. I think it would be good for someone who wants to go on a diet because looking at this, I've lost my appetite! lol
Hi there! It's actually quite tasty once you get used to the the smell and the sliminess. The flavor itself definitely grows on you, but I must admit it all looks a bit daunting seeing it for the first time. Give it a try, if you have the chance!😉
it has a little smell of coffee… if you got bad smell, that may be contaminated. Natto is good for people with high cholesterol.
Yes, it really is such an incredibly healthy food, isn't it?
Yummo!!! 🍚🥢
Hi there, Wendi! Yes, I agree. I've really started to like natto over the years and it comes with all those health benefits as well.😋
When I was in Japan in the 90‘s it was said that 50% of the Japanese population doesn’t like but the other 50% loves it.
Thank you very much for sharing your interesting video with us.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes, Natto seems to be one of those things you either love or hate. Perhaps it’s bit like blue cheese. Luckily, I’m a big fan and I actually eat it several times a week.😋

Thanks so much, Frederick! Welcome aboard.☺️
Many people hate the smell of natto but the smell comes from the packaging that is why they have からし the yellow spicy paste to weaken the smell . Natto straight from straw wouldn’t have the smell. Nice vid btw
Hello there! Ah yes, good old natto straight from the straw actually tastes the best. It's pretty hard to come by unless I find some in a local road station or souvenir shops near me. Thanks so much for the kind words!😋
I've always wanted to try this, but where I'm from I don't think I can get it anywhere :(
Hey there, Zed! Thanks so much for watching. I guess it might be difficult to get for some people, but I hope you'll be able to try some one day. A bit scary-looking at first, but after a few times it definitely starts to grow on you and it's a genuine superfood!😋
Grow your own natto, it even can be grown on a loose lentil puree or whatever. Boul some in a pot and clingerap the top of the pot and place it warm. Done
Hi there! That's a really good idea. I know some people who make their own here in Japan, but it's usually using a special machine which I think can also be used to make yoghurt.😋
it's not the taste. the taste just smells and tastes like miso or korean denjang... but it's the LUBRICATION! i just can't handle the sliminess! i really wish there was like a version with more friction lol.
Hi there! The slime factor is indeed kind of off-putting for a lot of people, but once you get used to it there's no looking back. Thanks so much for watching!😋
You are honest, but I'm not convinced.
Hi there! I must admit it might not look all that appetizing at first, but it actually tastes really nice. One of my favorite ways to eat natto is in an omelet with cheese. Goes great with beer.😋
I tried it. I threw up.
Hi there! Well, I guess it's kind of an acquired taste, but at least you gave it a try.😋
Nothing tastes like Japanese eggs.
The eggs in Kentucky do not taste as great, no matter the quality or brand.
If they're eggs are oranges, ours are all grapefuits. That is the best I could describe it.
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching.
Yes, there's a lot to be said for the quality of the eggs in Japan. I come from Scotland and whenever I go back home, I certainly notice the difference. The eggs in Japan have a deeper, richer flavor and the color of the yolk also seems much more appealing.
I know a guy who is a researcher at a poultry feed company here in Japan and he says each food manufacturer requests a special recipe for their particular chickens. Apparently it even differs depending on how the eggs are going to be cooked. They also have different feed for the chickens that are going to be eaten as meat. Apparently they add herbs, tea leaves etc. to produce the desired results.
Cheers for now!😋
This is so true. So many Japanese recipes call for you to just drop an egg yolk in and I never understood why. Up until I tried Japanese eggs. Let me say this, the best carbonarra is Japanese. Even their pork is juicy.
Hi there! Carbonara in Japan is always so creamy and rich - thanks to the addition of the amazing eggs. I'm not too sure how it compares to the authentic Italian version, but it always hits the spot with me.😋
The music as he’s prepping the food 😂
Hey there, Humberto! Yes, the music was rather dramatic. Thanks so much for watching.😋
