absolutely disgusting shit. i like the little packages it comes in tho it cute

>>13230794
Spermy peanuts?

Even japanese people know it's fucking weird, the only people who like it are the ones who grew up eating it.

Natto is fucking great. I like to mix it with rice, green onion and Bonito flakes. Makes a really filling meal.

I'd like to try it.

>eating natto
if there is anything i've learned from anime it's that natto is nasto

there is a reason why the faggots on this board only shill carboard noddles and shitty sauces, jap foods are shit

>>13230794
seriously how the fuck do i get the smell out
how do you even describe a smell like that. it's the kind of thing that halts you in your tracks and says, "something has gone horribly wrong here." like a cross between a dead rat, rotten tofu, and a bucket of vomit after eating a tray of mac'n'cheese with all the cheese replaced by mustard and noodles replaced with mildewy cardboard.

Natto is delicious.

>>13230794
Its pretty good mate. Eat natto for breakfast a lot.

>>13230847
Doesn't it make you curious though? Maybe it's the nip version of sardines. Pop culture says they're bad but they turned out to be good.

>>13230794
every asian apartment I've been in has fucking stunk

I had it in Japan. It’s really mild flavor wise (like all their food). The texture was sticky as you’d imagine but overall it’s just an okay savory breakfast thing.

What kinda restaurants do they serve this? I got a few Japanese places around here but I dunno if they sell it. I want to try it so bad.

>>13231241
You're most likely to find it as a sushi filling or curry topping. It's extremely good on curry, in sushi it's more of an acquired taste.

>>13230794
As much as I want to love Japanese food, I can't. Outside of Ramen and Okonomiyaki most of the food has the same flavor. It's not bad by no means but it isn't isn't on my bucket list when I think of foods to try out. Why is Japanese food taste the same?

>>13231280
I kinda just want to try it on its own, honestly. That's how I've always seen characters in anime eat it.

>>13230794
It smells like a rotting corpse that was found after 4 weeks. The taste is nasty and repulsive.

>>13231288
mirin and soy sauce in everything. they have one flavor profile for 90% of things.

that said, there are a lot of other flavors. yuzu is great.

>>13231307
godforsakenly repulsive

>>13230835
>Makes a really filling meal.
It's just soybeans, so it's exactly as filling as any other soy product. Which ain't much.

>>13230794
>Nattō (納豆) is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto.[1]
That's the shit that makes your dishwater slimy if you leave it too long.
>In order for Bacillus subtilis bacteria to swarm, they need to secrete a slime layer which includes surfactin, a surface tension-reducing lipopeptide
I lost a whole batch of bone stock to that shit. I wasn't sure because at first it's like schmaltz grease, but instead the water itself is sticky and slimy.
I had already had a cup of the stock, and I didn't get sick, because Bacillus subtilis lives in your gut anyway.
Vile fucking food, it's rotten beans. And not in a good way

Reasons to consume natto:

Natto has the highest count of Vitamin K in all foods by a huge margin.

Natto has Bacillus subtilis which is great addition to your gut bacteria.

There are many more reasons, look up this super food. That being said, I don't eat the beans but only the biofilm. What I do is dump an container of natto into a glass of water and give it a lively stir with my Betty Crocker whisk to wash the biofilm off the soy beans. When the water has become viscous I know that most of the biofilm has mixed into the water. I then drink the natto slime and discard the beans which are no longer clumping because the biofilm keeping them clumped has been washed off them.

>That's the shit that makes your dishwater slimy if you leave it too long.
explains a lot about that particular natto stench to be honest

Fermented soy beans. No thanks.

>>13231449
>drinks bacteria shit
You sound even worse than a Jap, I think you might in fact be Chinese.

>>13231455
I hope this stick guy gained weight and muscle. I'd gladly throw him in a concentration camp for being Communist, but I root for him to be healthy after he tried to build muscle and stuff. Makes me grateful for my own less than average and mediocre body.

>>13230794
>not knowing how it tastes
>buying 3 packages
>being this weab

>>13231523
it was 3 portions sold in one fucking package, retard. it was like $2.

get a job?

>>13231534
>just threw 2 and 1/2 packages in the trash
Those were your own words fuckstick. In any case...
>buying 3 portions when you don't know wtf it is
Good job, you're still a dumbass.

>>13231523
have you ever bought japanese food? everything is fucking packages inside packages.

>>13231463
well you're in for a treat, sis

>>13231449

how fat are you

>>13230794
Imagine the smell.

I tried it once before and I have no idea how you fucking pissbabies are complaining this much about it. It had a strong smell, but it didn't linger or fill up the room. The taste was just kind of mild and bland but it was enjoyable I guess. You people make it out to be some sort of disgusting abomination when it's just fermented soybeans.

>>13231463
That’s a girl on T not a man

Anyone here make their own natto? Seems like fun, though I'm not sure if it's cheaper to make your own or just buy pre-made. I like fermentation projects and have a spare room, so smell is not an issue.

>>13230794
Natto is healthy because it contains PQQ

>>13231455
Why are /pol/tards so scared of soy? It contains isoflavones which reduce risk of cancer and slow aging.

>>13231681

4chan is mostly really insecure young men trying to act hard but instead they're actually even worse and more fragile than most of the people they claim to hate

>>13231138
This. OP doesn't like natto because it doesn't taste enough like semen.

>i like the taste of half rotten estrogen
fuck, if only netto spontaniously produced cyanide, the world would be free of california culture

>>13232595
>being this afraid of phytoestrogens

>>13232603
>willingly wishing to become a transvegen

>>13232608
Do you happen to drink tea, coffee or beer or to eat any of several vegetables or fruits? Because those contain phytoestrogen, too.

>>13232624
maybe in faggotsville usa with your gmo faggotry, but not in the real world, nigger.

>>13232631
Ah yes, chemicals naturally occurring in plants only exist in the USA.

>>13232640
well none of the food from round here makes you want to mutilate your own genitals and push up the suicide rate to 40% just sayin

>>13232649
>well none of the food from round here makes you want to mutilate your own genitals
Neither do phytoestrogens. It's almost as if /pol/tards are retarded and don't know what they're talking about.

>>13232409
>why is cancer so scared of soy?
>it reduces risk of cancer

>>13230794

that's so american

>>13232631
>GMO
Your country sells you GMOs, but they just misclassify them to make you feel better.

>>13231193
Is actually bad tho

>>13232745
>actually bad
Some people enjoy the aftertaste of vomit.

>>13232722
if estrogen reduces the risk of cancer why do women get cancer?

>>13231449
no

>>13232409
The president's trade war is driving America's soy farmers to bankruptcy, so we need to invent anti-soy memes to justify this misgovernance.

>>13232766
Do you know of any woman who got prostate cancer?

>>13232771
this one

natto has the EXACT same taste and texture as the time i collected my semen in a jar for a few weeks then tasted it. 2/10.

>>13232770
>anti soy memes
The US has been producing the most soy in the world, and the memes are just rehashed from the 90's.

>>13230794
>apartment
I don’t expect poors to appreciate true culinary art.

>>13230794
if u lived in a house like a real american u wouldnt have this problem

>>13231208
wow um, ok racist

>>13233233
that's his personal experience, he didn say every asian apartment, he said every asian apartment he's been in so that isnt racist per se. please be more specific and don't devalue and misuses the label racist, since it is very important in our society thank you

>>13232725
IT IS SOLD
ONLY
IN A PACK OF 3

>>13232766
Because phytoestrogen =/= estrogen

you keep telling yourself that during your dilations

>>13230794
Been eating it my whole life. Got some in the fridge right now. I put my mouth up to the bowl and inhale that shit like a Sumo wrestler.

>>13230888
poetry also trips

>>13231138
This, except I only toss it on my tamago kake gohan. Super nutritious and filling breakfast that takes no time to make assuming you have rice in the cooker in the morning

Natto is delicious. It is only weird the first time. Not only is it delicious but it is cheap and nutritious too. Arigatou glorious Nippon.

>>13233290
Store around me has packs of 4 tho.

I like natto a lot. I'm Norwegian though, we eat a lot of disgusting and rotten fish so I guess that explains why.

>>13233239
>Racists are important
Wooow

>>13230794
as an asian ive tried multiple times to enjoy it but i just cant.

its some acquired taste

>>13237643
Well racists are more likely to be intelligent, yes. Just look at James Watson.

I was surprised when I tried natto cause I'd heard about how nasty it was supposed to be, but it's fucking nothing. It didn't stink or even taste weird. It just tastes like beans.

>weird texture filtering picky eater retards
>makes /pol/tards seethe
>healthy due to PQQ and isoflavones, while also decreasing LDL
Is there any more based food?

>>13237384
>>13237801
>>13235329
Have you ever made it? I hear it's not difficult to propagate your own from a common store-bought supply. Would love to introduce more fermented foods into my diet.

>>13230794
It actually tastes pretty creamy, like cottage cheese but nutty at the same time. The smell, I don't know why people say it smells.

>>13231534
You should have ordered it at a restaurant first before eating it raw.

One of a few things I did not like while in Japan. Downright disgusting, spat out washed down the aftertaste at nearest drinks vending machine

>>13232119
Hes not fat just over 50 kg and moves around during the day

I have to admit that I absolutely couldn't handle Natto the first time I tried it either. It smelled like fermented coffee to me. The texture was like seamen with soft cooked beans rolling around in my mouth. I didn't get it - I spat it out and said never again. 5 years later, I decide to give it another shot. I've had a lot of different foods since then, and discovered that I actually am ok with things that I wasn't before.

It turns out that Natto isn't that bad. I can't eat it alone - it's best with rice, but it's not as horrid as I thought it was the first time. The slime can still be a bit too much for me handle - a it just gives me mental images of trying to drink dick snot and gagging on it, but if you aren't bothered by such a thing (the japanese, I've heard, really ENJOY that texture.) and can get over the fermented "tang" that they have, they're not that terrible. Fermented foods are always off-putting to us but the health benefits of the gut bacteria they help us with, and the flavors can be learned to appreciate. (Sort of like the first time you had raw fish. It may have been heinous at first, but you slowly learn to appreciate the flavor and texture of each fish.)

Try to come back to it in a year and give Natto another shot. Your taste buds are said to change every 7 years, so maybe it's just gonna take some time?

>>13232573
this is true

>>13231449
The e coli in your gut already make all the vitamin k you need.

OH GOD OH NOOOOO I THINK I THINK I AM GONNNNNNA NAAATTTTOOOOOO

>>13230838
we know

Hello everyone I am a natto guru

At first natto is nasty, sure, but I recommend the power of the three. If you don't like it the first time, you will certainly like it the third time. My theory is that the natto bacteria infects you and you get a taste for it. I even crave it sometimes.

My main recommendation is to not use the mustard packet that comes with it at first. That is for when you're more well-seasoned (ha ha). A sprinkle of msg never made anything less palatable either.

I didn't like natto til I tried pic related. I don't know what's in the sauce but it is boss. (Prolly msg)

Basically, ganbatte kudasai and one day you too can be an enlightened natto eater. Fact: Japanese QT's will suck ur dick if u tell them u eat natto cause they want the nutrients in ur jizz. I have first hand experience.

>>13230794
I told the wife she couldn't eat that shit. Her mom visited from Japan and I could smell it when I came home. Somehow, they thought I wouldn't notice. Once more and she's gone.
