Natto Mix with Umeboshi, Kizami Nori and Shiso (Oba) make taste in harmony and well balanced!! Also Natto Mix with Ika sashimi will be IkaNatto. It goes well with Japanese Sake. Egg mix with Natto and make over rice will be super!!
Chopped Okura mix with Natto will more stickiness and eat as over rice. That's good combination!! Does anyone try?

Wow cgfan. I also like Ito no Chikara which we can find it in Mitsuwa, Marukai or Nijiya Supermarkt in CA.
It is sometimes very difficult to decide whether choosing Ito no Chikara or Original Okame Natto since they have different firmness and taste.
Both of them are very good. I recommend you both. : )

Old days, Natto was wrapped by straws for fermentation and sold with straw wrap for keeping Natto Good Condition.

Now a days, they are selling with plastic container. Only sometimes we can find traditional package with straw wrap.

I usually eat OKAME Natto. You can find Orange-Red Package with Okame (flat-faced woman mask). OKAME Natto is well know brand in Japan and they also produce Natto in Chicago.

Well Natto. That's a one of my favorite.
I usually enjoy dump it over some rice, but some time with Rica Cake.
Bake Raice Cake, cut into half and insert Natto like sandwich.

By the way, preparation technique of the Natto is first you should mix well.
After well mixed, you add attached source or soy source with mustard (some people add Japanese Chili Oil called Rayu). Then mix once again and complete.
This way, it will mix Natto and Sources very well and well balanced.

Let's enjoy eating Natto!!
