I love food and I’m always willing to try something new, especially foreign food. In Spain I tried rabbit and octopus, they were both really delicious. One of the strangest foods I have ever eaten was in Japan. When I arrived in Japan some people suggested that I try something called natto.
Natto is traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Some people find natto a little strange as the smell and taste is quite strong and also the texture is a little strange. Most Japanese people love natto and it is actually very healthy. Taste can be a very subjective thing some people love certain foods while others hate them. For example, I love olives but many people absolutely hate them.
So I decided to try it one day. I thought it looked a little strange but I tried not to judge the food by its appearance. I took my first bite then tried another but I couldn’t finish it. It wasn’t bad but it was just too strange for me. They say that natto is an acquired taste so maybe if I try it again I will eventually begin to like it. Maybe some day I’ll try natto again but for now I will stick to miso ramen.
