The basis of the dish is natto, a true speciality of Japanese cuisine. It is made by cooking soya beans and then fermenting them with bacteria, which produce a sticky “slime” and create a distinctive flavour. Natto is rich in protein, vitamin K, and enzymes that aid digestion, and is therefore considered particularly beneficial to health.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
