Queen Cosmo 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Haha... well, you're talking to a person who's about sit down to eat octopus, so maybe I shouldn't have weighed in on this one. But natto IS GROSS! Link to post Share on other sites
blu 3 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Breakfast - just a smaller version of dinner. Just ask for the egg to be cooked if possible. Lots of good stuff even if you avoid the fish - miso, rice, pickles, omelette, salad. Just watch for the custard in a cup with a bit of octopus or prawn in it. Link to post Share on other sites

cheeseman 1 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I need to find somewhere that has a good selection of cheese. Not the most easy of things to do in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Pickles, raw fish, seaweed for breakfast. I'll give that lot a miss. Best breakfast I have ever had at an accommodation was a guest house in Scotland. It was incredlbe. I seriously did not eat again until late night it was absolutely huge and quality stuff - the full cooked breakfast deal. I could do with that now. Link to post Share on other sites

s3phis 0 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 A bit of trivia about Natto... soy beans (daizu) was often used as horse feed in feudal Japan as it was plentiful and a lot cheaper than other feeds and was usually wrapped and carried in straw. The story goes that during a battle campaign, the Minamoto camp was ambushed. They had just started boiling the soy beans for their horses and, in their rush, they just packed it up in their straw containers. When they opened their feed bags, the beans had, of course, fermented. Since their horses generally were worth more than themselves, the soldiers tried the beans first and found that they liked it. The thing about this story is that it tends to be regionally accurate as well as all the areas that were known for breeding horses tend to like natto where as the regions that were more cattle breeding areas, such as Kansai. Personally, I can't stand being next to someone who's eating natto. Going back to breakfasts, personally, I like my eggs sunny side down with some sausages and rice with pickles. My diet is probably an overdose of carbohydrates considering that my portions of rice is a bit over the top... I also dislike grilled fish, it makes my oven/broiler stink Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I start off with a little rice in miso soup and some fish roe and squid and some ume on top. Then I have some bacon, a sausage, a sunny egg. Then I have some salad with the sesame dressing. Then I move onto a yogurt. Then I have a piece of grilled fish and some pickles. Then I have some natto just for the sake of it. Then perhaps some fruit. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If there's one thing that will really put me off a place to stay, it's a crappy breakfast. It's one of the most important things, and the last thing / last impression. Get it right!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Halfflat 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Watching the "How to eat natto" video made me hunger for natto maki. Can't get it here!

Halfflat 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm sure it's just a consequence of having been deprived for so long! By day two, I'm sure I will have reverted to a steady, healthy diet of ramen and curry rice. Link to post Share on other sites
