Looks like a bowl of snot. I so have to make this for my kids!

It's very much an acquired taste for most people. I wouldn't say I love it, but am mildly positive towards it.

It smells like dirty wet socks you’ve forgotten to wash too. But it tastes ok, even … nice?

It’s an acquired taste for sure.

The natto you get from US Japanese groceries doesn't smell like anything to me. I've always wondered if it's me or them who's wrong considering how people usually complain about it. It does have an unpleasant texture, but the taste is ok if you add the mustard pack.
