Breakfast of Champions

Our breakfasts are often something like this, colorful and rich with vegetables. We have grated nagaimo sauteed until crispy on the outside, ooey and gooey on the inside with Korean nori, colorful salad, miso soup filled with veggies, natto with kimchi, grapefruit segments with yogurt and rice.

Natto

Natto is an very very healty food.
It is Japanese traditional food made from fermented soybeans.
It is rich in protein.

We usually put natto into small bowl.
Add mustard and soysauce a little.
Stir it in the bowl. and put it on the rice.
I like this simple way to eat natto.

Natto is full of nutrients.
But it has a strong smell and it is sticky.
I suppose you need a time to be able to eat this.

Natto is not popular in western part of Japan.

Nutty About Natto - dare to make this at home

Love it or leave it. I can`t get enough of fermented, sticky soybeans.
