According to legend, the Minamoto samurai clan accidentally invented natto when they suddenly came under attack while boiling soybeans. They quickly wrapped the beans, but by the time they had a chance to eat them, the food had fermented. However, the clan enjoyed it so much they introduced it to the rest of Japan. Now, natto is a ubiquitous Japanese food you’re likely to see served for breakfast, as a snack, or mixed in with your entrees.
"I didn't like natto the first time I tried it," says Marie H. "Now I eat it almost every day."
Because it is a fermented dish, it has a distinct odor some people can’t stand. Japanese people often eat natto over rice, but if you’re trying it for the first time, you might not want to eat it this way. In Osaka, you can order the beloved street food okonomiyaki (savory pancakes) with natto flavoring. The other ingredients help mute the strong taste.
