In my first few months in Japan, a good Japanese friend of mine invite me to try natou. It is one of favourite food among Japanese. When I first looked at it, I could not stand the powerful smell and sticky-shape which of course it did not invite my appetite at all.
Nattō (納豆?) is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, popular especially for breakfast. As a rich source of protein, nattō and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. For some, nattō can be an acquired taste due to its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky consistency. In Japan nattō is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kantō, Tōhoku, and Hokkaido.

Natou is sold in any supermarket. Very cheap, it is usually boxed in small stryrofoam cup. It is made of soya beans which is fermented in such a way very much like Indonesian's tempe. Most Japanese will have natou along with raw egg, onion leaves and of course soy sauce and some will put wasabi on top.

Despite the look and bad smell, natou is rich in protein and very nutritious. So it must be good for your body. You should try natou when you come to Japan ! This natou presentation is my entry to the " Click " event hosted by Jai and Bee, which this month's theme is Beans and Lentils.
