so I made the 150-mile round trip today to this place in north Jersey Mitsuwa, a gigantic Wegmans-style store but everything Japanese. I went up to get a bunch of authentic Japanese food that you can't ever find in the Chinese-run sushi joints that litter nj, and I also found that they had natto!
for those who've never dared to try it, it takes like soft cold soybeans, but with very distinct but soft notes of mild Swiss and maybe a hint of provolone dairy-type taste. It's actually quite good over sushi rice, and it came with some really hot yellow mustard and soy sauce. It's incredibly mushy/sticky, id liken it to streams of hot glue spider webs that are thinner than hair and stretch seemingly forever, haha.
I've always wanted to try it, and I can say it's almost exactly what I expected, but even better! The soy sauce and mustard added just enough kick to balance the cheesiness to it, and the rice held it all together and gave it some base!
Glad I got 6 boxes of it cause it's one hell of a round trip to get lunch!! Gas and tolls alone...then throw in traffic? Ha! Nightmare.
