The comment that people who love natto LOVE natto is so true. I eat it every day! On toast, in miso soup, on its own, over rice, on toasted mochi, it's so flexible! And it's as good for you as it is tasty! At least, I think so, but I've had 0 success converting people who don't immediately love it over to my side...
I'd really like to make my own some day but I'll have to wait for a chance where the anti-nattoists in my household aren't around to veto the decision.

I do enjoy a good natto.

Wouldn't you have to harvest fresh straw to make natto from scratch? That part seems difficult to me, but that might just be because I live in a city.

I assume traditional straw would produce the best tasting natto, but there are actually a couple methods for making it at home without that– you can either use storebought natto as a starter or buy powdered natto bacillus culture to get you started.

Oh of course, it's like sourdough starter!

I hope you get your chance to make natto soon. Homemade food always has that special magic that makes it tastes better.
