What is NATTO & How to Make It? | FERMENTATION | Takoshiho Cooks Japan

One of my favorite Japanese foods is NATTO which is fermented soybeans.
You might think it's just odd, but I literally can't start my day without it.
It's full of nutrition with the unique texture and flavor. It is a popular fermented food especially in the eastern part of Japan.
I usually buy some packages of natto at a supermarket, but I tried to make a traditional natto using rice straw at home.
It is fermented food, so it goes well with other fermented food such as miso, soy sauce, kimchi, and cheese.
The result of homemade was not sticky as store bought ones, but tasted natto. You can try making them with other kinds of naturally dried grass. Some has distinct flavor, so you can boil the grass twice not once.
Hope you will try it someday!
