Maguro Natto

Maguro Natto

I'm not sure if I ever introduced about this strange(for foreigner) on this blog.

So if you don't know well about, please read this post.

I love it and have recommended to friend via weblog ever, but most of them can't accept :( Even if they are Japanese food lover..

Maguro Natto means Tuna and natto. In case of this, tuna is raw(as sashimi or sushi).

I think if you are reading this blog, probably you guys are intrested or like Japanese food. Including Tuna sushi(I think it is most popular Japanese food for foreigner).

I like Tuna sashimi as well, but natto make it better.

Just pour soy sauce as when you take tuna sashimi. Add wasabi if available :D

Natto(fermented soybeans)

Why don't you come to Japan?

For who doesn't know well about Natto, I will introduce about briefly.

Natto is fermented beans. I'm not sure but parobably 3 or 4 kinds of beans may be ingredients of Natto.

I recommend Natto to a lot of my foreigner friends but they couldn't eat it!

But a Korean friend who I met in Australia said that he had been used to eat it in Korea.

Does any Korean see this post? If so, please tell me if Natto is eaten in Korea or not.

Don't say "yuck" before you try.

It's so popular in Japan and people who lives in west part in Japan loves it!

I think most of people eat Natto with sauce and mastard in the package of Natto, but I strongly recommend you to add vinegar and chill before you stir Natto!

It's my favorite way since I heard about this way from the announcer from a radio program.

1, open the package of Natto.

2, You can see a sauce and mastard packege on the plastic cover

3, Prepare the vinegar and Chili(for me I usually prepare dried chili pepper).

4, Add sauce, mastard, vinegar and chili. And stir it! Natto will be thready.

5, Enjoy! Usually Japanese put it on the rice and eat with rice. But I like to eat Natto without rice, with whisky!

Finally, I have written that Natto is made of a various kind of beans, but 3 quaters of Natto sold in Japan is made of soy beans.

I attached a couple of photo is made of black soy beans. I prefer black soy beans to ordinary soy beans! It's more tasty than ordinary soy beans.
