From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Nattō (納豆) is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans, popular especially at breakfast. A rich source of protein, nattō and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan.
An acquired taste due to its powerful smell and sticky consistency, even in Japan nattō is consumed mostly in the eastern Kanto region.
Note that amanatto is not nattō, but rather, beans sweetened with sugar.
