Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I hadn't thought of natto in years Vera but you made me remember when I was teaching in Japan and my then BF now DH came to stay with me for a month. He was being a sweetie and cleaned out the fridge and threw away the pungent little container of natto because he thought it was rotten. My Japanese colleagues all thought that was just hilarious and laughed about it for weeks. Peace, Diane , Vera <hopecharityfaith wrote: > > > BTW since Tempeh is a fermented food according to Japanese cooking tradition it is even more desirable slightly more pungent. It is a matter of personal preference (like natto) but if you are used to fermented beans it can be quite a treat. > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've heard about natto, but have never seen it anywhere. Is this something you cannot buy in the US? or where would you look for it?? ~Danielle , " strayfeather1 " <otherbox2001 wrote: > > I hadn't thought of natto in years Vera but you made me remember when > I was teaching in Japan and my then BF now DH came to stay with me for > a month.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Asian supermarkets carry it. I love it but it is an acquired taste. , " mylameoww " <mylameoww wrote: > > I've heard about natto, but have never seen it anywhere.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 If you live near and Asian food market like Marukai, Mitsuwa, etc they carry Natto. It is fermented soy beans, quite pungent and used to season foods like tofu. Fermented foods are believed to be good for the digestion. there is more information as well as cooking tips here: http://www.gaia21.net/natto/recipe.htm Personally it is a bit strong for my pallet but many like it and it is refuted to be very healthy. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 If you're around Seattle or the eastside, Uwajimaya carries natto. It usually comes in a small styro container and is refrigerated. Peace, Diane , " mylameoww " <mylameoww wrote: > > I've heard about natto, but have never seen it anywhere.
