Natto Patty Cakes／納豆焼き

Natto - fermented beans, every Japanese household staple.

The beans are high in Vitamin B and are served mostly on top of rice, although it might first scare some people who haven't tried them because of its smell and stickiness due to the fermentation.

Its one of those Japanese foods that reminds me of home and is a favorite of my little sister's.

So, I decided to make a patty cake out of them. Completely out of my head!

納豆が冷蔵庫で使われていなかったので

白ご飯以外と食べる方法はないかなと考えたところ...
