- I can't can't, I can't open another one.
- What.
(laughs)
does that look like.
- Oh, wow.
(intense music)
- This has been the worst shoot.
I think we've ever done.
- Ever
(upbeat music)
- So today, I want to show you an interesting dish.
We love here in Japan.
I want to show you, see if I can convince you to like it.
It's kind of like version of Vegemite,
because you either love it or you hate it.
Have you guys ever ate natto before?
- Never. I've never heard of natto.
- No.
- So natto is basically made from soybeans,
and natto bacteria.
Normally we eat natto, at the breakfast,
and lunch,
and dinner.
Yeah. Sometimes.
- Good for your, like, digestion.
- Yeah. It's good for your health.
So, so that's why we have lots of older,
old people in Japan.
Old people love eat natto.
That's why they live longer.
- So if I like eat natto,
I'm going to live to like 200
(laughs)
- Yeah. Maybe.
- natto and the Vegemite is similar.
Cause some people hate it,
because it smell like someone's sweaty feet.
But once you try it you-
maybe you'll like it.
- I'm actually excited.
Sweaty feet.
- First, you have to open it,
like slowly cause it's breakable.
So you have to be careful.
- I broke the packet.
That's a good sign.
- Okay so I'm That opening up the first packet ,
which comes with a couple of little sauces.
- Oh my God. It's sticky.
(gasps)
- All true.
- Okay. So.
- Oof it's like coffee, like coffee or something?
- Yeah. I'm getting coffee vibes.
I think it smells great.
Hmm.
- Some form of fish sauce, which I don't really fuck with,
because I don't like seafood.
- Oh my God. This is going to be hard to mix.
- It looks like a spider web.
- So apparently, the more you stir, the better it tastes.
- Holy shit.
Oh my God.
Oh.
My.
God.
- How many times we stir it?
- Whoop the stick.
Okay. Tasting the natto.
- Wait. Wait for me.
- Okay. I'm just going to go in
before it all falls off the chopstick.
- Okay, here we go.
- Uh, Uh, Uh.
(coughs)
I just got to swa-
(coughs)
I need to get water.
(coughs)
- It takes like, like weirder version,
a foamier version of Tempeh.
That's what it tastes like.
And the taste also lingers in your mouth.
Like it's actually kind of tastes like dirty feet now.
It's like a bit like dirty sock.
- First. I want you guys to try with rice.
And the mustard sauce and soy sauce.
- Oh my God.
Do we mix the soy, the fish,
and the mustard through the natto.
- If you're squeamish about food textures
this is probably not, not the food for you.
- No, its not for you.
- Like it bubbles,
I think that's what he was trying to say before.
It gets to really bubbly.
- The sauce kind of has like a miso smell.
Uh, The muster just smells like regular, degular mustard.
All right. Trying with the sauces.
- Hmm.
- Look, that's much better than no sauce.
- That changes everything, I really like that.
- Mm.
- That's good.
- Uh, uh.
- Okay, it's not as bad,
as drama queen over there is making out.
I think it could be better with the rice,
because at least you have something else
to absorb the foot flavor.
You know, this is more like a meal.
Okay. I'm going to do it.
Ready? 1, 2, 3.
Mm.
- Uh, the aftertaste.
- That's actually a really good,
it kept getting better and better.
It's making the rice go yellow
- But it's like, it's like 10 times better with sauce.
- He was right.
And that's why it's like Vegemite.
You probably have to grow up with it,
eat it every day, have it in your life.
Because if you're 25,
starting to eat Vegemite,
of course you're going to hate it.
- I also, I want you guys to try with cheese.
- And I'm just going to do this,
so I can really just not taste the cheese.
(laughs)
- Okay. This is hard to mix with the cheese.
- Oh, are you eating it already? I'm still mixing it.
It gets better when the more you mix it remember
(inaudible)
- Alrighty.
(giggle)
- That's not as bad.
(laughs)
Uh. That aftertaste.
- Yeah. I don't know about that.
- Mm.
Uh.
- You know what?
The foot cheese masks the natto.
- I also, I want you guys to have a with the kimchi.
That's uh, common in Japan.
And may be uh, Korea.
I don't know if Korea has natto.
But yeah. It's a great combination.
I, I hate kimchi though, but it's great combination.
- Okay. I actually love kimchi.
Like I would eat this straight.
I think it's delicious.
- It's going to be really strange.
(plates clinking)
- Mm.
That's good.
- I like, it tastes like,
Health.
(giggles)
Like you wouldn't want to have this on a hangover bar.
- Of all the combinations we've tried today,
I would actually eat it with that.
- 100%
- Gives me an entire bowl of kimchi, a bit of rice
and then a couple of spoons of natto.
Delicious.
- Same.
- Last, I want you to have natto,
with a raw egg,
and with just the yellow parts.
The yo-
yolk.
- Yolk.
- Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know how to pronounce.
But, yolk.
I know you guys
don't eat the egg yolk raw.
But it's great,
please.
- Yeah.
I can't, I can't I can't,
I can't open another one.
I also just don't think it should be eaten raw. Right?
It's literally a chicken's period,
that we're eating raw.
- What's that?
- Have you tried, like raw egg with stuff.
- Uh no,
I actually don't think I have.
- Oh wow.
- Oh, the yolk is really stringy.
Oh no.
- That's probably the thumbnail.
(upbeat piano instrumental)
- This looks unreal.
- I've got to say it does look like vomit or something.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. It's got like little-
yeah it like vomit with little pieces in it.
- She's not the prettiest.
- Yeah. To be fair Vegemite doesn't look that pretty.
Should we give it a go?
- Oh my God.
I'm actually nervous about this one.
Oh fuck.
- It does smell-
- Uhhh.
- It does smell weird.
- Un un.
- Oh wow.
(coughs)
- Oh, the texture for me
is just what made it a bit hard to stomach,
but the flavors were fine.
Like it was like a hit of coffee, a hit of egg.
That was okay.
It's just like trying to imagine
eating that on a hangover, a weak stomach.
- Raw egg, especially just not, not, not for me.
It's the egg for me.
- It's the natto for me.
- My favorite is definitely with the sauces,
like as it comes.
- Yeah. I have to agree,
like that was a really nice way,
I think it mixing it with a bit of rice or kimchi
was also really nice.
- Yeah natto really broke me today.
And not, not in the way I like to get broken.
(laughs)
- Red, when you come to Australia
I'm going to give you a bunch of combinations of Vegemite.
And after you try them, you'll like it.
Um, unlike natto.
