So that's a good thing. Hi Seitan, Hmmm, now I'm getting nervous! Hi Val, We'll definitely write up a post. And it will be within the next 2 weeks. I think the package expires then. Jane's been itching to try it, but I haven't worked up the nerve yet. Hi Elaine, I'm not sure if it contains B12. I didn't look over the package much, other than to investigate the ingredients. As for supplements, I'm loathe to get into that topic as I don't have a degree in nutrition. My doctor referred Jane and me to a dietician early on. She recommended a multivitamin to cover all the bases, flax seed oil, a b-complex supplement, and nutritional yeast on a regular basis. What's your point of view? Hi Nicole,

What's your opinion on supplements, B12, and fermentation re. veganism? Since it’s fermented, does that mean it’s likely to contain B12?

It really seems to be an acquired taste though. It probably didn't even taste so bad, it's just the look, texture, and the smell that affects your perception of its taste, I think... An American friend of mine (of Japanese and Colombian descent, but Californian born and raised) loves it. My homestay family had me try this in Japan, ugh! it was so gross.

I've had a range from really good (in Japan, though, of course), to some really nasty-tasting. Or maybe it was just me. Either way, it's worth trying and I'm curious to see what you and Jane thought of it, so please post it! Thanks Val I think it really depends on who prepares the natto.

Good luck with the natto. I tried it in sushi once and wasn't even able to swallow it. But I'll never forget it! Oh dear. Good luck with the natto.

Sort of like the rice crispy treats of dog food. I'm curious to see how it tastes. Good luck! Hmm. Natto looks pretty gross. Sort of like the rice crispy treats of dog food.

One of the hotels we were in, in Rotorua, had vegemite available for breakfast. Jane had one bite (I'd tried it previously). It's definitely something we remember. Hi Amanda,

My old flatmate is Japanese and ate it. She said it is great for your skin/hair etc. I tried a small bit and it is definetly something you remember! :) This is definetly one interesting thing to eat!
