Natto (fermented soybeans) is an acquired taste. For many years I shied away from them, but I've gradually grown to enjoy when my wife mixes them in with other ingredients.

Attempted turnips at a much younger age. Like you, they were
found to be blah. However, attempted a new vegie at a ‘more
mature’ age, ‘parsnip’ and found it delicious. All in all,
must claim that broccoli is second on the list of vegies, right after those potatoes. :-)

Natto for breakfast every day....strengthens the immune system, really good for you.

Agree. Broccoli is up there in tasty vegetables. Another acquired taste is gobo (burcock roots). Mixed up with thin slices of carrot and it makes a terrific cooked vegetable with great health benefits -- like natto.

Miso Soup cooked in the old monastic way is als very good for you.

If You are in Kyoto there is a huge wonderful Curry Restaurant. Great place to eat.

Located next to Kawaramachi Station in the Teramachi Shopping District, this restaurant has been open for more than 30 years. Carved wooden screens and old paintings of Indian design accent the dining area, lending it an authentic vibe. Customer favourites include tandoor meats such as chicken tikka and mutton kebab, biryani dishes and the baked-to-perfection naan. A seven-dish vegetarian lunch is a steal at just ¥900 (£6.60). Four different types of samosas are on the menu, including a vegan option, and there are numerous curries to choose from, many of them vegetarian, such as the rich paneer butter masala. The staff are extremely friendly; ask a waiter which dishes are halal. There’s another location with the same name in Central Osaka.

Another great tasting veggie is tomatoes. Yum, they are
so good. DH can't stand them; something to do with the
seeds. However, he eats ketchup like there's no tomorrow,
same hunger he has for spaghetti sauce or pizza. On the other hand, cabbage is also good; only if raw. Cooked cabbage
is a gigantic turnoff (unless it's in a stew). Brussels Sprouts, BARF!
