Why do most westerners hate natto? What does it taste like?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 22 00:20:12 2019 No.21739594 It smells absolutely revolting. That plus the texture was enough to make me gag when I tried it. I am usually an adventurous eater and enjoy trying new things, but I had to spit it out. I honestly don't know how the Nips can choke it down.

Looks like a bunch of dried larvae stuck in what looks to be a combination of their slime and human/animal semen past expiration. The food is great for strengthening your immune system due to the various pathogens it holds, but not even a starving dog would willingly eat that monstrosity of a food.

it's fermented onions. FERMENTED ONIONS. fucking strong-ass taste that you're either raised on or make an effort to get used to. also texture is gross.
good source of vit K though, and probably the safest way to eat onions in general if you have to for subsistence...

Not sure why people hate it so much. It's not great, but when I first tried I I just found the taste to be just kinda mild and bland, and not gag-tier revolting or anything. Nothing I'd go out of my way to eat but I'd down a bowl of it no problem, especially with rice or something.

The closest thing I can say it tastes like is bitter beans. I find that it almost has a coffee like flavor. But it's definitely hard to describe since natto's taste is very unique. I think it's pretty good though. Most people seem to really dislike it because of its slimy texture, not only westerners but Japanese people as well. It definitely is an acquired taste. However, it's certainly nowhere near as gross as people make it out to be though.

I went there for a trip and left. I don't really plan on living there or polluting Japanese culture. If I ever do go back to Japan, I will probably do the same stuff I did last time, which is to visit a few important sites (temples, castles, museums) in large cities, probably go shop for manga or light novels, and generally avoid bothering or speaking to people lest it be necessary.

Taste is pretty bland to be honest.
Compared to other fermented foods (kimchi, yeast pastes etc.) doesn't have much bite.
Texture is alright I guess, the stringyness doesn't actually feel like much in the mouth - maybe comparable to pouring out canned beans and reducing?
Smell is the only thing that you have to deal with desu, and honestly it's nowhere near as bad as some fish sauces.
