Notes
- Substitute: If your natto doesn't come with sauce and karashi, you can use soy sauce or make it on your own by mixing soy sauce, dashi (soup stock), and sugar.
- Storage: Keep natto in the fridge or freezer. When eating frozen natto, please leave it in the refrigerator for a half-day to defrost naturally. No microwave oven, as it ruins the taste.
- You can find Natto at Asian grocery stores or Japanese supermarkets. You would find it around the tofu section or frozen section.
- If you are unsure about the taste, stir it as much as possible to increase the umami (savory) flavor.

This is a very large list of recipes where natto is an ingredient. It is also very helpful to introduce natto for people hesitant to eat natto.
As for me, I really enjoy eating natto, and I want its unique taste to be the star ingredient. There's a saying that "less is more." As this pertains to food, some of the best and tastiest recipes are the simplest recipes where one ingredient or taste stands out. Sometimes many recipes have a tendency to be too complicated or have too many ingredients.
That said, I always prefer simple and easy to prepare natto dishes with minimal effort and ingredients, such as natto gohan, natto maki, natto-jiru, etc.
By the way, I made some toast topped with natto, cooked eggs and Kewpie mayonnaise several days ago for breakfast. It was tasty, but I wasn't sure what stood out, the natto or the eggs.
Anyway, you have put together an impressive list. I may try some of the simpler recipes. Thanks

Thanks Rick! Yeah, simple is the best. Natto gohan is always my No.1 favorite! I hope you will find your new favorite!
