In Japan, natto is a very common food on the dining table.
Natto is fermented soybeans, known for its strong smell and sticky texture.
Before eating, people mix it many times with chopped green onions.
The more you mix, the stickier it becomes.
After that, sauce and mustard are added, and it is mixed again until it becomes very thick and sticky.
Then it is usually eaten with warm rice.
It may look unusual to people from other countries, but natto is extremely good for your health.
It helps improve gut health and digestion.
Another reason it is popular is the price.
Natto is very cheap, easy to find, and nutritious.
Because of these reasons, many Japanese people eat natto almost every day, unless they don’t like the taste.
It is a simple, healthy, and affordable part of everyday Japanese life.
