The important thing that I just had to share, however, is how totally awesome I find your tattoos (or is it one huge design? I can't really tell from the photo). Tattooed moms rock! Please let me have arms as fab as yours when I'm a mom.

But it's supposed to be very healthy!<br /><br />I bought one of these bento boxes and had the same experience as you - even with calorie-dense food, it's simply not enough. I had to upgrade to a "man-sized" bento box. :D Most of the women I work with eat lunches this size or smaller on a daily basis, and I don't know how they make it through the afternoon!<br /><br />The shape is handy, though. Mine came with a cute little drawstring bag for easy carrying.Daturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219016278762822016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-51865934264067041892009-07-19T05:41:10.121-07:002009-07-19T05:41:10.121-07:00I'm also veg living in Japan and I love natto....I'm also veg living in Japan and I love natto. I didn't touch it for a long time since so much here has meat and fish extracts in it, and I can't eat the sauce that comes with it, but it's yummy. I don't think it smells at all, actually, and I don't think it's that slimy, either. You slurp natto the same as noodles here.<br />I don't care much for natto maki though, nor the chopped up natto, because it's not substantial enough and I feel like I am chewing on my own teeth. The large bean natto, and black bean natto, though, are delicious. One comes with spicy mustard, the other with wasabi, and I add soy sauce to both to make up for the fishy sauce.<br />Not sure how I'd feel about it coming from a jar, though. My first year here I asked my students why everything comes in plastic except natto, which comes in little styrofoam containers, and they said it has to do with the fermentation process and keeping the natto 'good,' so I can't imagine what kind of taste a jar would lend.<br />If you find it in an Asian shop - relatively cheap - give it a shot! It really is supposed to have amazing health benefits...arisafarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302146220218276170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-83317153576233896902009-07-19T00:06:22.333-07:002009-07-19T00:06:22.333-07:00That looks so tasty!

And I mean right away. If I eat oily stuff sometimes I have stomach pains and other yucky stuff too, and I've tried plain yogurt, etc., but the only thing that works is natto for me. My husband had food poisoning one time and was even admitted to the hospital for it over here in Japan, they pumped him full of antibiotics which left his stomach in bad shape, but after just one small cup of natto, he was completely better. I always keep some in our fridge, but I can't believe you have to pay such a big price for it in the US. I guess imported US foods over here are just as pricey, though.Abigail (aka Mamatouille)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09375687869909244442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-58504090614487603832009-06-29T11:08:32.471-07:002009-06-29T11:08:32.471-07:00Haha, funny thing is coming from hawaii and now li...Haha, funny thing is coming from hawaii and now living in los angeles with constant trips to little tokyo (i'm not japanese, but i've been immersed in the culture since i was young) this vertical is the only style i've really every had!

The rice and nori make the texture a little less stringy. I think most people are put off by the texture more than the flavor. It tastes much milder than it smells-I think it almost has a faint vanilla flavor, but I might just be crazy. It is traditionally eaten over rice with soy sauce, often for breakfast.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02654845559847876491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-25793572596764609362009-06-28T17:03:05.905-07:002009-06-28T17:03:05.905-07:00this is a great recipe..

I didn't *hate* it and to me it actually smelled worse than it tasted, but I can't say with confidence that I would order it again (although it would not horrify me to have a "polite bite" or two if it were ever offered to me). I tried it at a Japanese restaurant for $5 which is a perfectly reasonable price to me for a new experience. However, I am also glad I didn't buy a whole jar because I certainly would not finish it.Lily Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566952862327365978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1962671045100308512009-06-26T11:43:45.412-07:002009-06-26T11:43:45.412-07:00If I could go back again and not order natto, woul...If I could go back again and not order natto, would I?
