I didn't know that the package of natto (fermented soy beans) from Takano Foods has changed to the summer version; National High School Baseball Championship Series. It is very unusual to use blue for a natto package (usually in warm colour). I remember, in winter time, a daruma was on a package to pray for passing an exam. Maybe their target customers are mothers who have school kids.

When I meet some people who say 'I love natto! All I need is natto, I don't need anything else', I say 'Me too! I don't need rice, I like to eat natto on its own!'. But usually, people mean that they love to eat natto with rice, and they don't need other dishes. I don't think I'm crazy about natto, but I guess my body can handle more natto than others. I like natto on freshly cooked rice, but I eat with cold soba noodle these days. A cold natto pasta is tasty too. But I eat them secretly on my own. C hates natto!
