Today our sensei brought us Nattou. We got bonus points from eating a forkfull. We, being the uninformed morons we are, were excited. We each tried a forkfull. All in all 1 person liked it. 2 people thought it was tolerable. 2 people almost vomited. The other 20 or so of us just choked it down. It wasn't nowhere near the best stuff I've ever had, but I love it. I took one bite and got my voice back. Therefore, to me, Nattou = miracle food. I was wondering if anyone else had interesting natto stories.

Did she bring in any of the fixin's you serve with natto usually? Everyone I think likes natto in a different way. Some like it with the packets of sauce and chinese mustard it comes with. At my house we eat it with soy sauce, chopped green onions and raw egg, on rice.

My only experience with natto is seeing it on TV. I was in Japan a few years ago, and to kill time before dinner, I was watching TV with some classmates (it was a student exchange trip) and they were having some sort of competition to see how high you can lift natto out of a bowl keeping a strand of sticky stuff conneted to the natto in the bowl and the natto in the chopsticks. Eventually they brought in forklifts or something and managed to lift it 30 meters. It was weird.

I tried it once. It had the sauce and mustard mixed into it (I was trying some of a friend's)
I ate one bean and I have to say, my whole life flashed before my eyes and then they rolled up into my head.
I think it took me a couple hours to get the memory of that frightening experience to leave my head for even a moment.
Suffice it to say, I wasn't thrilled with the taste. I wouldn't eat the stuff again for a million dollars. >D

Natto isn't something I could ever get accustomed to. -coughs and shakes- I wasn't bothered by the taste itself, though. If I found natto-flavored ramen, I might like that.

I actually like Natto. I was staying in a Youth Hostel in Hirazumi, and they brought me my breakfast without the Natto that everyone else had gotten. They were really shocked when I asked them if I could get some, like, do you know what it is, and I was like, Yes, I do, can I get mine? (ofcorse, more politily then that) MMmmmm, and I ate it all down!
Now Fish Cakes....there is something I could never get a taste for, espeically the ones that where in one of my ekiben's.....I thought I was going to loose it while I was on the trian...it was pretty bad....

I am of the opinion that the mustard packet that's included should be replaced with a handwritten apology from the manufacturer. That stuff is -satan.-
Four questions: Why are there "airholes" in the side of the packet? Does it need to breathe?!
Why is there an expiration date? What do they think will happen on that date that hasn't already happened?!
