Wow. I finally found a Japanese food I can't stand. Jos%). and I went to Sushi Avenue for lunch, and had a damned good meal. But, just for the hell of it, I decided to order a Natto roll. Natto, for those lucky enough not to know, is a bean substance that has been fermented in a hay bacteria. It is sticky, smelly, and quite possibly sentient and evil. Ick.

On the plus side, I hade some damned fine Anago and Unagi, as well as wasabi nobiko. And they still make the best miso soup in Atlanta, imho.

Natto

My Japanese-expert friend says that natto is the lutefisk of Japan--it's a super-acquired taste, and in fact, a lot of Japanese don't like it. It's the only japanese food he won't eat, either.

I would love to take you to my favorite Japanese restaurant here, Kirala. =) Call me up if you're around.
