Intern, Jennifer Salenger, reminisces about her culinary adventures in Japan as Halloween is upon us.
Even as an adventurous foreigner in Tokyo, I didn’t have in mind something I like to call the “Stinky Spider-webbed Beans”, officially known as Natto. Natto are fermented soybeans that have been produced and eaten on the Japanese Archipelago for thousands of years. While these fermented beans are extremely good for your health, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have an appetizing exterior—stinkier than even the most pungent French cheeses. Moreover, each time you touch a bean, it spawns new gossamer-like threads that waft in the air and get caught on everything. Talk about new ideas for Halloween party spider web decoration!
