Natto over rice with avocado, cucumber, scallions, and bonito flakes

Natto, or nattō, is a popular Japanese dish made of soybeans that have been fermented with Bacilus Subtilis bacteria over a certain period of time (usually between 24 to 36 hours). It’s often served as a breakfast food in Japan and has a very distinctive flavor and texture – stinky and slimy. It’s usually sold in individual portions, packaged in styrofoam that also include a tare sauce and yellow mustard.
