It's pretty damn good, love it with rice. It has an interesting flavor, and the Bacillus subtilius is apparantly healthy in that they make specific B vitamins.

what the fuck is this primitive slop?

>>15305871
Looks vile. I would try it though

Corn fungus

sometimes when i see onigiri my brain says oniggery instead and i gotta be careful

>>15305871
I like it quite a bit. I'm actually getting ready to order a culture to start making it at home.

I really like fermented foods and Japanese foods, so I'm also developing a koji program for my home kitchen.

>>15305871
Gross texture, flavor is fine. Would probably like it if it didnt feel like someone sneezed soybeans out

>>15305936
You're thinking of huitlacoche

>>15305963
Slimy foods are called by the ideophone "neba neba" in Japan, where they are enjoyed and valued as comfort food. In the west we might typically think of comfort foods being something crunchy or chewy, but in Japan it's typical to find slimy foods enjoyable. It's just a matter of getting over mental hurdles desu.

Don't US Americans like macaroni and cheese as comfort food? That also has a more "slimy" or maybe "creamy" texture.

>>15306044
Good point. A lot love creamed corn as well. Cottage cheese. Jello.

>>15306044
True, macaroni and cheese is a little bit "slimy." Maybe Americans are just picky babies.

Natto isn’t too bad texturally, I ate it with ease. The room temp seaweed goop they sometimes serve you for traditional breakfast was difficult to get down for me. Straight up loogie texture.

I tried it on my one trip to Japan --it was a breakfast option at the beef bowl joints. I liked it enough that I have it occasionally with grits now.

>>15306044
no? what the fuck kinda roni you eatin?

>>15306257
kraft macaroni and cheese

Das right whitey be scared of your own thoughts

Neba-neba. Never tried it. I've heard that it smells bad.

It's another 'ck pretends to like some weird ancient pre-refrigeration rotten tier garbage to own the normies' episode. Can't wait for you guys to drink piss to own the normies and how your palates are so developed you can taste the subtle hints of dragon fruit in the fresh piss

Honestly, I have a pretty varied palette and will eat anything but I could barely get through one bite. It just tasted like rotten beans to me. This was from a packet I got at a supermarket though so maybe it would be better fresh? I don't know, I couldn't stand the flavor, whereas I can eat century eggs on their own.

>>15305984
When I was in Japan the only people that ate natto were old Asians and tourists. Most younger people seemed to avoid it...at least that's my experience

>>15306044
Creamy and slimy arent the same thing. Closes you can get in the US is raw oysters at an oyster bar as far as texture goes

>>15306740
Oh fuck I forgot about okra! I grew up eating it in the south and it can be pretty slimy

>>15306754
This is a good example. It's not traditional to Japan but has gotten very popular there anyway due to its slimy texture.

>>15306726
I'm a white dude in California lol but I love this shit. Gonna have some with lunch in a little bit here.

>>15306664
It tastes good and it's healthy.

Hate it.

>>15306664
lol flyover fatshit crybabby

>>15306866
Oh I don't shit on people for liking it, it just seems to be dying out in Japan when I was there. I ain't bothered by the texture I personally just don't like the taste. Tripe seems to be dying out in the southern states now that I think about it.

>>15306044
We eat popcorn

Here's my lunch, natto, rice, and miso soup with nameko mushrooms (neba neba x2). The pickle is fukujinzuke.

Idk if this is a very "authentic" Japanese meal or anything, but I like it.

>>15305871
it's natto very good

>>15305871
Imagine the smell.... smells exactly like restaurant dumpster in the summertime.

>>15307121
Is your bento box pinku (or any other girl color)? I'm sure it's kawai. I hope it has two or more kotoba (that's Japanese for compartments).

>>15305871
I was expecting it to be much more repulsive, but it was just slimy beans in the end. I kinda like it.

>>15307763
You're funny lol but you honestly were on the nose, I'm obsessed with Japanese food and I love pink

>>15305871
natto much

>>15307763
Is this reddit? Why do you speak like this when you can speak in so many other ways?
