Mito Natto
Upon opening the lid, a unique aroma rises softly. When stirred with chopsticks, glossy white threads stretch out in multiple layers—Mito Natto is a dish that makes you want to eat endless bowls of rice due to its stickiness and the umami of the beans. It is said that Mito became a 'Natto Town' during the Meiji era. In 188py (Meiji 22), Seizaemon Sasunuma founded 'Tengu Natto'. By selling it as a souvenir in front of the railway station that opened the same year, it gained popularity, and through travelers' word-of-mouth, the image of 'Mito for Natto' spread across the country. Placed atop freshly cooked rice and mixed. It is a simple taste that makes you want to eat it again and again.
