     Nattō is an ubiquitous home breakfast food. It's fermented soy beans covered in a slimy fluid similar to mucus, and has a pungent smell.

     It's clearly an acquired taste. As a foreigner, sometimes I get praised for being able to eat nattō 😆

     The full meal comes with white rice topped with shiso (perilla leaf) and soy beans seasoned with mirin, soy sauce and sugar. All common ingredients sold by every supermarket.

     @jeeves I'll try to pay attention to the smell next time. I definitely thought natto had a vague hint of ammonia.

     @codewiz maybe it's partially a genetic thing, I always thought it smelled a little bit like coffee or something, never unpleasant. Though when I try to make it at home, sometimes it doesn't turn out right and smells of ammonia.

     @codewiz I like natto, but natto rolls are still wrong.

     @jeeves Everything is so delicious... I have to ask to give me less 米 or I'll eat too much!

     @codewiz What's on the top right? Tofu skins?
     Edit: nevermind, I see it's in the previous post.
