Reblogged from GOURMANDE in OSAKA:
Black and white menu. Two Japanese classics.
Natto is cooked soy beans, that are then fermented (originally they were wrapped in rice straw and getting ferment from it, not it's cultivated like yogurt). Natto is usually brown. This one is make with black soy beans. It's less strong in taste, more flavorful.
With wasabi. Grated fresh wasabi root.
I put the hot rice on the natto.
