Natto, a typical Japanese health food, is made of soybeans steamed and then fermented with natto bacilli. It is an easily digested food and rich in protein, calcium, iron and vitamins. But its strong smell and stickiness are intolerable for some Japanese as well as for many foreigners. Although there are many ways of eating it, natto is most commonly mixed with a little mustard, soy sauce and chopped green onion and eaten as a topping for rice.
