Suddenly, do you like natto? I love. Natto, which is eaten on top of hot white rice, is a perfect dish. There are many people who are shunned by the peculiar smell, but that smell is also one of the attractions. I got the information that such a person who loves natto cannot miss it, "There seems to be an all-you-can-eat natto lunch where you can enjoy natto to your heart's content."

Usually, the word "all-you-can-eat" is preceded by the words "grilled meat" and "cake", right? However, the combination of "natto" and "all-you-can-eat" makes you feel uncomfortable. What on earth do you mean? concern!

…… And, if you're curious, check it out. I decided to actually go and enjoy natto until I was full!

This is a rumor ...?

■ This is all 8 types of all-you-can-eat natto!

This time, I asked the shop to shoot and brought all 8 types at once! There are 8 types. Natto cannot survive in the tray. I have never seen such a large amount of natto. Ah, the brown color appeals to you, which makes you realize that natto was a bean.

Natto is awesome!

■ I'll eat ~

First of all, we will have domestic large natto as a standard! It's just a large grain, and it's more than twice the size of the small grain you usually eat. The beans are firm and have a solid feel. When you try it, you can really feel the taste of beans. It is unique to large grains.

It looks appetizing, doesn't it?

After eating a little large natto, I decided to eat and compare it little by little because there are 8 types. Put each natto on rice (large serving). Somehow cute.

That's so cute? Isn't it?
That's so cute? Isn't it?

First, let's try the standard series of domestic small grains, domestic groat, and eda beans natto. The small grains are yeah, stable and delicious. It feels like the usual natto, but the beans are plump and create an atmosphere of good natto. Stickiness that is also good. It's really delicious, isn't it? Eda beans natto uses soybeans for eda beans, so it is easy to eat without any habit. At first glance, it doesn't look like a large natto, but it certainly had the sweetness of the beans and was delicious.

Next, a little strange kind of sesame natto, wakame natto, hijiki natto, millet natto. As you can imagine, sesame natto is a natto with a pleasant crunchy texture. It was also nice that the sesame scent accentuated the scent. Wakame natto contains finely cut wakame seaweed. The scent of rocky shore? I thought, but it was drowned out by natto. However, the texture of wakame seaweed and the slightly taste of rocky shore are quite GOOD.

Hijiki natto also contains hijiki seaweed, but hmm, the taste has been drowned out by natto. It feels like the texture is barely "Oh?". Millet natto also tasted like normal natto, and I couldn't taste the petit petit feeling of sesame. But it looks good for your health. Maybe I want to try it at home.

■ Which is the best natto?

As a result of tasting all of them, they were all delicious, but personally I would like to recommend domestically produced natto, eda natto, and wakame natto. In particular, Eda Bean Natto has the sweetness of beans and is recommended for men and women of all ages. Even those who are not good at natto may find it easier to eat!

After tasting natto, I will continue to eat it. eat. On the way, put miso soup, today's small bowl of dried daikon radish, and pickles to reset the mouth. Kiriboshi daikon is delicious. Miso soup is also delicious. I am happy with the taste other than natto.

At first, I thought, "Isn't it natto for rice? You can eat natto indefinitely?", But I'm sorry I licked it. Natto is a bean. I'm pretty full. In order to change the taste, I try to add mustard or shichimi from the middle, but 8 types are quite strong enemies. For the time being, I've tasted natto so much that I don't like it.

I ate a lot, but I have a faint expectation that natto will be healthy and healthy. This is a great deal for 780 yen!
