It happened a couple days ago, but I thought I'd tell you now that I remember about it. In Japan, it should go without saying, that you should try everything if you really want to experience it's cuisine. In otherwords you have to have a pretty tolerant stomach.
Being Chinese, I'm pretty open new food, I will each pretty much anything thats sanitarily edible. However I at something that made me gag for the first time ever in my life. Well technically its two things.
Anyway I'll get straight to the point, instead of going round-about. Do NOT try to wash down Natto with Beer. On that day, I decided to challenge myself by eating Natto the second time, in my life. We ordered Natto-maki. During the fourth roll, I couldn't swallow it because it was getting wayyy to strong. So I decided to wash it down with beer. Thing is Natto makes beer foam, and beer increases the taste of Natto in your mouth. Along with that, there are these mint leaves they put with Natto, it kinda makes the Natto taste more pronounced.
All this in combinaton triggered a gag reflex, and I almost puked on the spot. Luckily my desire to not puke on the table or other peoples laps was stronger than the desire to puke. Anyway, thought I would relate that lesson to you, so you don't go through the same thing as me. If your gonna eat natto try it in small bits and never wash it down with beer.
