Natto Bagel
04/25/2008 @ 12:00 pm
Inspired by the comments on Japundit regarding my “real natto” post, I decided this morning to try out a natto bagel.
I have to admit, it was really, really good. And really filling.
I expect one of you cafes in Tokyo to start putting this on your menu for “morning set.”
Good one, Marie!
How did you keep the natto from making its way through the hole in the middle?

April 25th, 2008 at 4:18 pmI haven’t tried this but it looks good. Most mornings I eat my natto on toast, sometimes with cheese melted on top. For something a little different, I’d recommend a toasted natto/Nutella sandwich - I call it the Nattella.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:34 pmI like bagels and I like natto but I would not combine the 2. Also, bagels in Japan are disgusting.
April 26th, 2008 at 1:07 am*gag* …. wow, you are one brave soul.
Is that natto prepared in the same way as eaten in a japanese breakfast; all slimy and stuff?

April 26th, 2008 at 6:01 amMarie, is that cream cheese on top? Also, did you season the natto with anything (shoyu, mustard, etc), or did you mix it plain? I’m a natto fanatic, I’ll try this one for sure.
April 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pmYes, that is cream cheese on top, and yes I seasoned the natto. But I think you can try it any way and see what works for you!
And the truth is, I have never had a bagel in Japan. I’ve never even seen one. It’s just a matter of time. I’m telling you!
Apologies to RTN, who has always been so nice.
Ed, the natto just stayed put. What can I say?
Supercoolmanchi and feitclub–let me know how it goes!
