Natto

Here is the deal with natto. Natto are NOT rotten. They are fermented soybeans. Lots of people told me before I left that I would hate them. Apparently, they smell gross. I think they taste awesome. They come in little styrofoam containers, and they come with some sauces. You pour the sauces on them, mix them up with chopsticks, and then dump then on rice. mix that up and enjoy, or dont, which ever you prefer.

This is a picture of natto after you mix it up. It really doesnt do them any glory. Natto is stickier than all hell. As you pull up with your chopsticks, strands of something (shown as the whitish stuff in the picture) come too. They are crazy nuts and will never leave you alone until you eat them. Alex or Chi, if you are reading this, this is what you need to use to hold those green dorms together.
