Abstract

Natto rice is all you need. From simple classics to seasonal dishes and even a feast, this book offers 365 fun recipes using ingredients you already have at home. It also includes a convenient index so you can choose from the ingredients you have in your refrigerator. ◆The possibilities of natto rice are "infinite" Since childhood, natto has almost always been on our dinner table. It's cheap, nutritious, and above all, delicious. My mother would always mix the natto deliciously and put it on rice, and "natto rice" is a taste I remember fondly. Whenever she asked, "What do you want for dinner today?", I would always answer, "If we have natto rice, that's all I need," which always troubled my mother (laughs). It's really amazing that I never get tired of eating it every day. It's delicious simply as is. Adding a few everyday ingredients makes it even more delicious. Even without a variety of side dishes, natto rice on the table is a wonderful feast. And if you add some miso soup, it's more than enough. When you're wondering what to have for dinner today, just flip through this book. And I hope that not only people who like natto, but also those who don't, will take a look at it and think, "Maybe I'd like to try this," and that it will be a starting point for them.
