I ate Natto yesterday after an interval of 6 months.
It is difficult to get it in the U.S. and if I find it, it is expensive.
It is sold for three or four times as expensive as Japanese one.
I was really happy.

Natto is a Japanese traditional food, which goes with a rice.
Many Japanese often eat it.
But I know most of foreigners dislike it.
Because it is stink as it is made by fermenting beans.

Even in Japan, only a few people living in the west part of Japan, which is called Kansai(関西) eat it.
I don't know why.

If you have a chance to eat it, try it!
At first I'm sure you hate its taste and smell, but as often as you try it, you will get aquired taste!

I had it tonight! In london there are a few places to buy it.
I lived with a Japanese student and tried it a few times with him. As you said, after eating it a few times you start to like it!

Good work.

I wish I knew where to find Japanese food, like Natto, in my city. I'd love to give it a try.

Yeah, most of the foreigners around me typically don't like natto, but I'm different. I love natto. Don't forget that people in Fukushima also love natto! (That's where I live) Good write-up!

そうですね。僕の周りにも、外国人がほとんど好きではありません。でも、僕は違います。納豆が大好きです。忘れてはならないのは、福島の市民も納豆が大好きですね。(僕は福島に住んでいます)

よくできました!

Thank you for the correction to my errors.

And I'm glad to hear that. Natto is delicious.

> Jak-san
Let's give it a try. Smell is bad, but tasty.

> Soultaker-san
Really? Have you tried it?

> Alex-san
Greaaaaat! Yes! I think most of Fukusima people like natto, because it is located in the eastern part of Japan.
How long have you been living in Japan?

日本に留学するときに納豆を食べてみた。有名な食べ物だから、すごく食べたかったことだけど。。。やっぱり嫌いだった。(笑)日本料理は大好きだけど、納豆は食べられなかった。実際に味は大丈夫だと思ったが(おいしくないけど・・・)食べると気持ち悪いからダメだった。3、4回食べてみたがまだ食べられない。でも、なぜか仲間の中で納豆が嫌いな人は僕だけだ・・・
