SINGAPORE Japan's Famous Natto from DON DON DONKI 🇯🇵 Smells Like Dirty Socks?! 😱

If you're new to natto, it can be an acquired taste, especially because of its strong aroma that many compare to dirty socks. However, as someone who gave it a try for the first time, I found that stirring it well with chopsticks and adding the included soy sauce and mustard (karashi) really helps mellow out the smell and enhances the flavor. Natto is made from fermented soybeans and is well-celebrated in Japan for its health benefits. It is rich in protein and probiotics, which contribute to digestive health and overall wellness. This is partly why natto has such a loyal fan base despite its unique scent. At DON DON DONKI in Singapore, you can get a pack of natto for only S$3.50, making it a budget-friendly option for those keen on exploring Japanese foods or healthy eating habits. If you appreciate fermented foods or want to improve your gut health, natto might be worth a try. For those hesitant to dive straight in, try mixing natto into rice or other dishes. Many Japanese people enjoy it with a raw egg or chopped green onions to balance the flavor. Overall, natto’s sticky, stringy texture may take some getting used to, but the nutritional benefits and unique taste offer a fascinating glimpse into Japanese cuisine.
