Home economics, i guess

Can someone please tell me the name of this one bean paste bread dessert. It is shaped like a star fish and the paste is purpleish. A Japanese exchange student gave me one once and I LOVED IT.

I went to a local Mitsuwa (Japanese supermarket) and described it to a clerk but she looked at me confused. Maybe if I knew the name it would be easier to find.

Yeah...

Cold storage in Taka has all the nattos you want... They have a wide range of japanese snacks, food, sushi, udon and etc... I just went there on friday...

I tried natto once and I didn't like the taste... I wonder why japanese ppl like it so much esp TK.... -_-"

Natto is fermented soybeans with Bacillus subtilis natto living in rice straws. Normally eaten with rice.

The red bean pancake u mentioned. I think it should be called as Doriyaki.

was just wondering if you have to add anything to natto before you eat it.... like soya sauce or something.... cos' i always see the japanese adding something to it before they eat it....

erm... i don't think you need to cook it....
just open up the package and you can eat it... but i think still need to add some condiments... but like i mentioned b4, i don't know what it is....

i really dun dare to try natto ne~.. many people love it but at the same time many people can't stand the sight of it.. well.. once you've tried it can you tell me how it tastes..?

Anything goes for me! Ramen, udon, tempura, sushi, sashimi, tendon, gyudon, japanese breakfast, takoyaki, yakitori, okonomiyaki etc.
Never tasted sukiyaki, too pricey.

cant wait to try natto...
it looks slimy right
with all those beans
>_<

Hmm,

I've tasted natto before and in my opinion, I didn't like the taste. You can add soya sauce to it if ya want as it's included in the package.

I told myself I would never eat natto in my whole life unless TK makes it for me... *wishful thinking*

3Peace...
