Natto is actually delicious, but some may require developing a taste for it.

I like it! It is delicious!
Can’t get past the smell. I’ll stick to sushi, thanks.
In western Japan (Kobe/Osaka/Kyoto), the locals despised the stuff but loved kimchi (Korean spicy cabbage). I spent seven years in eastern Japan (Tokyo area) and nine years in the west. I never learned to handle natto, but developed a fondness for kimchi.
And super super high in the Vitamin K2 complex, one of the hardest to get but one of the most critical ones.
I just don’t get the concept of eating stuff that is either terrible tasting or chemically-burn-your-mouth hot.
Why?
I understand that some foods are an acquired taste or are more culturally acceptable than one may like.
But why eat stuff that almost universally tastes like crap on purpose?
I have heard the same thing about lutefisk.
probably like developing a taste for cigarettes.
My issue with natto is its use as a breakfast food. I can’t handle natto in the morning.
I eat it on a healthful piece of toast for breakfast .
Japanese food is why I consider great Japanese cooking to be at the KFC in downtown Tokyo.
