About Me

- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

obachan;
The spring rolls look great and they don't even look as though they have been deep fried. I love natto, so I wouldn't care if the taste were strong....
Obachan, your spring rolls really look great. I have never eaten natto but I would like to try one day. I saw a program on Norwegian tv one time encouraging Norwegians to eat natto, "try natto, it's good for you", the program said :).
You're natto-phobic,obachan???
I used to dislike that beany texture but after trying my mum's temaki-zushi with shiso&finely chopped natto,I became a fan and now I can't get enough of it!
Your spring rolls look yummy....I also like mine dipped in sweet chilli sauce.
Your spring rolls look too good to eat, Obachan. We Malaysians have them with chilli sauce.
Obachan,
Honestly speaking, I never try natto or even taste it really but they said that in Japan it is known as "meat, grown in a field, without detriments of meat."
Well, sounds very interesting food but your spring roll looks yummy. I keep in mind once I visit Japan, will have to try Natto :)

I have always liked natto with kimchi. I once made an omu-natto-kimchi and it was good. Now I can eat them rolled in a spring roll too. Thanks for the idea.
what di dyou fry them in? and what was the dipping sauce you used? Just simple soy sauce? Your making me hungry!
Obachan - I've never even thought of natto with kim chee! Looks I have something for those real quick meals...natto-kim chee rice, now how good does that sound! Beautiful spring roll BTW - looks perfect.
Did you seal the spring roll like an envelope ? ie using saliva :)
Oops, obachan, you been tagged by me. :P Please do it ok. ;)

Oh you are one of those natto lovers. Lucky you.

It is true that natto is good for health. It has an enzyme called nattokinase which can dissolve blood clots. I heard that some food is effective in preventing the formation of thrombus, but only nattokinaze can prevent and also dissolve it after it is made. So I understand the value of natto, but it’s not easy for me to enjoy it. I hope the TV program you saw introduced some friendly recipes that make natto easier for people to eat. Just saying “Eat it” can be cruel… :O

Maybe I shouldn’t say “phobic,” because I can force myself to eat when it’s really necessary. And I even have the feeling that I might like it if I could find a right recipe for me. Many of my friends love natto temaki. I’ve tried it once at an izakaya type place, and I didn’t really care for it. I’m sure they were not as good at making natto-maki as your mom.

Oh, another vote for chilli sauce. :D Yeah, it must be good.

I guess all the good things they say about natto is true. It would be at least a quite interesting experience when you would try natto. ; )

Omu-natto-kimchi! I think I’ve heard of it somewhere. I’m glad you liked the idea of spring roll.

I used canola oil to deep-fry them and the dipping sauce was the mixture of soy-sauce and vinegar.

I saw someone ranking natto-kimchi rice as the No.1 favorite on a Japanese natto-recipe site.
I’m happy with the way my photos turned out this time, BTW. The spring rolls do look better than what they actually were.

Ayeeeeeee…. Do you do that???!! Gosh I have to be careful when you’d invite me to eat your spring rolls. ;)

Oh? Another meme? OK. I’ll come right away.
Mmmm, so oishi, but maybe not four.. my stomach can't take it!
Bachan! Your springrolls look great. I would love to try the first batch but not the one with natto and kimchi. I am not fond of natto...icky sticky...
Hi Obachan,
After the natto and bacon spaghetti, I think I'll pass on the natto kimchi spring rolls. =)
hi obachan, those springrolls are the very picture of golden perfection...they also sound very intensely flavoured!
Wow, I ate nattou-kimchi the same day as you! Nothing fancy like in spring rolls, just as-is.
Pairing nattou with other strong, stinky foods like kimchi or cheese helps reduce nattou's stinkiness, and cooking will get rid of most of the sliminess. Have you tried nattou cheese toast?

What? You can’t take just four tiny spring rolls? Come on!
glutton rabbit
I understand that. But I have the feeling that this might turn into another funny project for me, so I’ll probably keep trying different natto recipes…
Reid
I don’t blame ya. ;)
J
Yeah, intensely… sort of. : )
Amy
Wow, synchronicity! :D
I’ve heard a LOT about natto chesse toast. Natto lovers say that it’s heavenly, but I’ve been reluctant (or afraid) to try it. But you know what? I’ve decided to turn this into another crazy project of mine. I’m going to try -- on an irregular basis -- various natto recipes that people recommend to natto beginners (or natto-haters) and see if I bump into the one that I really love. I'll put natto cheese toast on the list of what I should try ;)
