Looks amazing, and so healthy. What are those fish called and how do you cook them?
Do You eat the eyes and the filled intestines too?
I always feel better knowing that natto is divisive even in Japan. 😊
Yum…I love anchovies.
I can’t either, natto is NASTY
If that’s your happy place then more power to you!
Neither Can I
Super delish. I have natto many mornings as well. Also for lunch.
It is definitely one of those textures and tastes that are polarizing. I just loved it from Day 1.
Also a big fan of any seafood. I’m easy to please in Japan. 😁
I had a relative visit one time and I said “when we eat and go out is there anything you don’t like or are allergic to?” and they said “oh I LOVE Japanese food but just no raw fish or ANYTHING WITH SOY PRODUCTS IN IT . . . “
What Japanese foods were you eating before?!! Severe limitation . . . 😭😭😭
I love natto, I also like to pair it with kimchi
This is food
The first night I stayed in Japan was in ‘97. I got lost getting back to my hotel, figured I was screwed till morning and got something to eat at a Lawson. I bought sushi, not knowing it was filled with natto. I bit into it and immediately brought it back to the store to explain to them the sushi had gone bad. Then I did it again. Yes, I did that twice. I still laugh at myself to this day and I still think natto tastes awful. My kids like it though 🤷🏻♂️
Unlike what some people might think Raw or fermented Japanese foods don’t taste bad at all, but it’s understandable considering we grow up with certain tastes and ingredients, when I first tried Nigiri I was sure that I’d throw up but when I bit into the sushi it didn’t even feel like a peace of meat or raw or sea-like, it was like a cooled boiled carrot
That breakfast looks amazing! Love natto! Didn’t like it at first when I moved to Japan, but it’s a staple now.
I can’t imagine your breath is ideal for a kiss afterwards, lol.
YUM!!
I like to eat this right before a hot date
Do you buy the little fish canned? Frozen? Fresh? I’ve never seen them before. I’d love to try them.
Personally, I don’t like my food judging me
Ahhhh I get chills even thinking about eating a fish whole (even tiny… if my seafood still has eyes on it i can’t stomach it)
Well if anything those beech mushrooms are so damn good. Could have them with almost every dish.
Natto makes you puke
You don’t flavor the fish with anything?
Hmmm i dont like the eyes on the fish but otherwise, nice!
Now add a raw egg to it!
Where do you get those fish?
Eyeballs are kind of intense for breakfast IMO but you do you!
Wow. Just had hikiwari Natto for breakfast this morning, but I’ve never had it with fish!
Justice delicious.
Does SO know that most of asia eats similarly for breakfast? lol
Personally I can’t do natto. I can do stinky cheese – the stinkier the better, but I can’t do Natto. Mostly because of the feel of it in my mouth. That mucus like feeling. I can’t.

Love Natto. The fish giving me that eye though.
