Natto on Cheese Toast

This recipe is going to shock most Japanese people. But it tastes great :). We shall use Natto, that most Japanese of all Japanese foods, after eating which, you can claim to have truly embraced Japanese culture.

First, we will start by lightly toasting whole wheat (or multi-grain) bread. Then, place a slice of swiss cheese on the toast and put it your oven to broil.

Keep it in the oven until the cheese just about starts to melt, as shown in the picture. Take it out of the oven and keep aside.

Open up your Natto box (this can be purchased in any Japanese store. I got mine from Nijiya Market, next to Chaat Paradise on El Camino).

Mix the sauce (usually soy and mustard) and make the natto really frothy using chopsticks (or a fork).

Finally, put the natto on your cheese toast as shown above. Serve with miso soup (and a poached egg). Yummy!
