I like to mix my natto with a raw egg, then eat it on top of rice. I have 3 packs of natto in the fridge, it's the first time I've frozen it, but after reading your post I know what to expect now.muskratbytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408117945590904056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-19617214540807316752011-08-28T00:47:50.922+09:002011-08-28T00:47:50.922+09:00Kiki, Harzer cheese looks like the only smelly che...Kiki, Harzer cheese looks like the only smelly cheese which is low-fat and low-calorie at the same time! (It is advised on many diet websites). I suppose it might be found in the German-speaking Switzerland...

I'm impressed by your memory!<br />I find the texture funny and remember one episode of Shinya Shokudo with the couple who loved natto. It was really funny, but I suppose disgusting for many Europeans.<br />I don't know if I'm exceptional, but it takes much more than sliminess or strong smell to put me off a food product! I always say food is the only field where I'm adventurous in my life!Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-16774440492670688792011-08-27T17:07:38.109+09:002011-08-27T17:07:38.109+09:00Hiroyuki: This video was great.

I know a lot of people hate natto because of its slimy texture.<br /><br />The little experiment I did was meant for you. I have confirmed that freezing does not affect the flavor but affects the texture.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-32468196931692085602011-08-27T04:15:17.301+09:002011-08-27T04:15:17.301+09:00I learned Natto smells like Harzer Cheese and it t...I learned Natto smells like Harzer Cheese and it tastes nearly the same (some call Harzer disgusting rotten lowfat milk, but it is pure protein and healthy). So it is something I would fancy. Sadly natto is so special there is no way to buy it - wether online nor in shops around here. We may think global but have to stick local. You cannot buy Harzer in japan and so it is fair enough (laugh). Natto is on my "must try list" for the big japan journey next year.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-10368241462432400952011-08-27T00:30:26.249+09:002011-08-27T00:30:26.249+09:00A fascinating and informative post.

I bought it only once (there is only one brand -no name - in my shop) and haven't mixed with anything. I thought the aroma was promising (reminding me of French smelly cheese), but I found the taste disappointingly bland. <br />Reading your post I have just decided I will buy it once more and mix with mustard, soy sauce and chopped leek. Then I will make my second opinion. <br />I must admit I love the sliminess and it makes me laugh people find it disgusting ;-)Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.com
