I honestly did not expect to give this rating. The saying from ancient times, "A frog in a well knows nothing of the great ocean," is truly profound. I had decided to visit this restaurant whenever I went to Fukuoka because they had natto fried rice on their menu, and I love natto dishes. The interior of the restaurant had a bar-like atmosphere, which could be a good spot for a date with a natto-loving girl, maybe? When I looked at the menu, I was excited to see a variety of dishes, even though it was a natto specialty restaurant. However, I was not particularly thrilled by the unexpected and intense menu items. I was eager to try the natto fried rice made by a natto specialty restaurant! ★Items I ordered this time★ - Natto Fried Rice - Natto Gateau Chocolat First, the natto fried rice had three unique ingredients and seasonings that were not used in other restaurants I had tried in Fukushima. It was clear that being a specialty restaurant meant more than just a title. ★Natto Fried Rice★ From the appearance, I immediately thought that the base was Japanese-style. The flavor was undoubtedly delicious, with a Japanese taste created by bonito flakes and chopped seaweed. As I continued eating, I encountered three surprises: 1. Mayonnaise - A seasoning that seemed common but was not usually used on natto fried rice. It was hidden behind the bonito flakes and chopped seaweed. 2. Garlic powder - The garlic powder's punch and the richness of mayonnaise intensified the flavor, creating a surprising and stimulating taste. 3. Bacon - The flavor and umami of bacon were essential in this natto fried rice, adding an extra kick to the already bold flavor. I was surprised by this unique and addictive taste, which surpassed any natto fried rice I had tried before. It was so unique that I felt like ordering another serving. If I were to rate the fried rice alone, it would be around 4.2 or 4.3, but... And then, the highlight of the meal, the natto dessert ★Natto Gateau Chocolat★ The appearance of the dessert, with visible natto grains in the two layers, was intriguing. The sticky and gooey texture of the chocolate was delightful, and surprisingly, there was no hint of natto's odor! The presence of natto was only felt in its texture and mouthfeel, skillfully combined with the sweetness and texture of the chocolate to create an incredibly delicious dessert! It would have been a tasty Gateau Chocolat even without the natto, but the addition of natto gave it a special significance. I personally certify this as the ultimate natto dessert!! Thank you for the meal. I would definitely come back for more! If this restaurant were nearby, I would undoubtedly visit frequently to try all the menu items.

I was undecided between getting curry or the set menu with an extra side of natto, but I ended up ordering the set menu with natto. The food was delicious and the portion size was just right, leaving me satisfied. The dishes with natto had a smooth and mild flavor, and all the dishes were tasty. Even the dishes without natto were all delicious, with no disappointments. The natto croquettes, said to be the most popular item, had a unique and enjoyable taste, which was a new discovery for me.

Last week, the natto fried rice was delicious so I ordered it again right away. However, today I felt unwell and the food at the first restaurant we went to didn't taste as good as it should have. I was surprised at how much the taste can change depending on my condition. It was a day where I spent a total of 1,390 yen on natto fried rice for 890 yen and a highball for 500 yen.

This is a restaurant that I was curious about because it is located very close to Yakuin Station. Most dishes contain natto, but there are also dishes that do not contain natto. Natto fried rice, Crispy natto croquettes, Natto omelette, Natto garlic butter stir-fry, 2 cups of sake, Total: 4,380 yen. The natto fried rice was delicious.

This week, I went out for drinks more often than usual at night, so I'm feeling tired and want to detoxify my body. I wanted to avoid fried or heavy foods. After thinking carefully, I remembered a unique place I had been curious about. It's a restaurant called "Nattoya Nenrando" located on the second floor of a building next to Nogata Station. The name is quite unique, and the restaurant specializes in dishes with natto (fermented soybeans). There was a daily menu displayed on the stairs of the first floor. The "Nenrando Lunch" for 780 yen includes chicken and tofu meatball hamburger and natto croquette. I decided to try it and went up the stairs to enter the restaurant. Despite the place being half full with customers, I was seated at a table for two. The "Nenrando Lunch" arrived quickly, and it included natto as well. There was also salad and macaroni salad, making it a well-balanced meal. I enjoyed the combination of rice and natto. The meatball hamburger had a gentle tomato sauce flavor, and the natto croquette, though small, was delicious with the addition of powdered cheese. Since I was looking for a detox, the size of the croquette was just right. Overall, the meal was well-balanced and satisfying. I thought they only accepted cash for payment, but they also accepted cards. It's rare to find a place that accepts cards for lunch. It was a great restaurant experience.

Nakaji went to a place I had always wanted to go to. It's located above Mos Burger. Inside the restaurant, there were two visible staff members and one in the kitchen. I went soon after they opened, so there was only one customer ahead of me. But gradually more people came in, and by the time I left, there were around five customers. I ordered the daily lunch special (780 yen) which included domestic chicken tempura with eggplant in sweet and sour sauce, simmered daikon radish, and a popular natto croquette. It was served in about 5 minutes. So fast! The chicken tempura with eggplant in sweet and sour sauce was delicious. The salad had natto on top, which gave it a nice texture and flavor. The natto croquette was my first time trying, and it had a strong natto flavor. The natto side dish was also tasty with a strong bean-like natto taste. I also tried the natto fried rice lunch special (880 yen) that my companion ordered. It had a strong sticky natto taste, perfect for natto lovers! In terms of cost performance, I would recommend the daily lunch special as it offers a variety of flavors. After the meal, I ordered a dessert set (600 yen) that I was curious about - the natto Mont Blanc with coffee. The chestnut on top was real, and the natto was in the tart crust. The chestnut part was delicious with plenty of cream inside. The natto tart part was surprising with a noticeable natto flavor, yet delicious and unique. The texture was sticky and incredibly tasty. It was my first time experiencing such a flavor, and it was a great decision to order it. The coffee was also delicious. Overall, it was a fantastic lunch experience! Nakaji always recommends great places!

Yakuin Station is a restaurant located right near the station that is a must-visit for natto lovers. Natto goes well with all the menu items, from classic dishes to unexpected ones. The restaurant uses different types of natto depending on the dish, which shows their attention to detail. The food also pairs well with alcohol. I wanted to try the dessert, but I ended up ordering too much food and got full... I finished with miso soup. Whether you love natto or not, I highly recommend visiting this place. Thank you for the meal. *Note: Some menu items do not contain natto.

I was surprised to discover the wide variety of dishes that can be made with natto, such as natto croquettes, natto pasta, natto negitoro bowl, natto curry, etc. My favorite was the natto negitoro bowl. The combination of natto with sweet soy sauce was just perfect! I also enjoyed the natto croquette, with its deliciously moist and sticky texture and homemade tartar sauce sprinkled with Parmesan. My partner tried the natto Mont Blanc, which was surprisingly good with the natto blended in smoothly. It was a unique experience to taste chestnuts and natto together. Even after trying so many natto dishes, I never got tired of it, which is amazing. Eating natto really boosts your digestive system! The female staff members were so cute, resembling characters from Sakamoto Days or Spy x Family. Thank you for the delicious meal!

When walking in Yakuin, I always noticed this place that seemed like a shop for ninja weapons, but never actually went in. However, on a Sunday, I happened to be in Yakuin and decided to give it a try. As soon as I entered the store, I saw delicious-looking cakes. I was surprised to find out that they also serve lunch. The daily special for 780 yen included natto croquette, chicken cutlet, salad, miso soup, pickles, burdock tempura, vegetable side dish, and a small natto dish. The portion was more than I expected and everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The natto dish was particularly amazing, and I discovered a new side of natto that I had never experienced before. The staff was polite and the cost performance was great (I would have been fine with paying around 1,100 yen). I felt the staff's love for natto, and it made me appreciate natto even more. The job requirement for part-time staff is to like natto. I will definitely visit again!

"Natto fried rice, how do the natto beans disperse one by one? I didn't know. By heating it well, the natto strands break and become fluffy. Probably the only natto cuisine specialty store in Fukuoka. I was expecting a bold and eccentric dish covered in natto, but when the fried rice came out, I couldn't find the natto. It only comes out in small pieces when you dig in, but the umami of the natto permeates the whole dish, making it delicious. The bacon and white leeks fried together are well balanced, and the topping of bonito flakes and chopped seaweed adds a nice flavor. I always loved natto, but I used to avoid natto fried rice or natto curry thinking they were weird. But the fried rice was a hit. I'm thinking of trying to make it myself next time. However, I'm still hesitant about the natto curry. On another day, I tried the "Negitoro Natto Bowl" (980 yen). Again, contrary to my expectations, there was a lot of negitoro. A 2cm thick chunk like an iceberg in Antarctica. The natto peeks modestly from underneath, maintaining a good balance when eaten together. Despite the claim of specializing in natto cuisine, the dishes seem quite normal. It might be a good lunch option near Nishitetsu Yakuin Station. This text is from [Tokyo Totteoki!!].

On a regular night, there were a few groups of 1-3 customers. They offered dishes made with natto (fermented soybeans), although some dishes did not contain natto. The dishes included: Yuba Natto, Crispy Natto Croquette, Today's Pasta (Bolognese), Natto Fried Rice, and Natto Lettuce Wraps. Apart from the Yuba Natto, the other dishes were cooked, so the natto flavor was not very strong. For those who want to eat natto in a different way, it may not be the best choice, but if you think of it as a different type of cuisine, it is delicious. The Natto Bolognese, which changes daily, was filling and had a meaty texture similar to soy meat, making it quite good.

I went there after a long time. I usually order the Forest Mushroom Salad and the Negitoro Bukkake Natto Rice. I recommend ordering the Forest Mushroom Salad without dressing. Even without dressing, it is flavorful enough.

I visited for the first time at night. The food is really delicious. I never imagined that it would be so tasty with natto! The carbonara is exquisite. The flat pasta is well coated with rich cream. The broccoli also has a great texture. I could feel the attention to detail in the okra natto dish as well. It's obvious, but it's completely different from supermarket natto. I wanted to try more dishes, but I could only handle two dishes alone.

I have visited this natto restaurant in Yakuin more than 10 times. Lately, I have been leaning towards a healthier diet, so natto dishes are just right for me. The overall seasoning at this restaurant is on the stronger side. Even the salads have a lot of dressing, so I always order them without dressing. The flavors are intense, but it's perfect for when I'm eating alone, so I use this place often.

Near Nogata Station, I went to a natto specialty store called Hakata Food Park Nattoya Nenrando Dinner and tried the Nattoya All-You-Can-Eat Course with Drink Bar. First, the chef's recommended appetizers were served, including natto with green onions, natto with tuna, and natto with yuba. The natto with tuna was a bit too soy sauce-flavored for my taste, but I enjoyed the unique texture of the yuba combined with natto. Next, a sticky taro Italian salad was served, with a colorful arrangement of vegetables and fruits, including crunchy potato chips. The natto in the salad was a pleasant surprise and added an interesting texture. Then, a creative dish of shrimp and mayonnaise natto sauce was served, which I found delightful. The slow-cooked pork belly natto was tender and flavorful, followed by a refreshing dish of thick-fried tofu and okra with natto. The popular crispy natto croquette was a unique and delicious dish, with a crispy exterior and a soft, natto-flavored interior. The dish of squid and enoki mushrooms with natto lemon butter sauce was surprisingly tangy and addictive. For the main course, I chose the daily natto pasta, which had spinach, bacon, and natto in a Japanese-style pasta dish. The dessert options included sweet natto Mont Blanc, natto rare cheesecake, natto chocolate roll cake, natto tiramisu, natto kinako mousse, natto gateau chocolat, natto chocolate, and natto ice cream (vanilla, matcha, or strawberry). I tried the intriguing sweet natto Mont Blanc, which had a subtle natto flavor that complemented the sweetness of the dessert. For drinks, I had pomegranate juice, tropical mango juice, paradise pineapple juice, and apple juice, all of which were fruity and delicious. The restaurant had a chic and sophisticated atmosphere, and offered a wide variety of unique natto dishes that would appeal to natto lovers and those looking to try something different. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area, and I look forward to trying their lunch menu in the future.

You can enjoy creative dishes with natto at this restaurant. Lunch lineup: Natto pasta lunch (daily special) 950 yen, Komatsuna and bacon soup pasta lunch (daily special) 780 yen, Chicken tsukune hamburger. The pasta lunch uses fresh pasta. The soup pasta was seriously delicious! On the day I had the tsukune hamburger, my favorite natto croquette was served, which really boosted my mood. Natto lovers should definitely try it out. Every time, I am amazed by how natto transforms into such dishes.

Located right near Nogata Station, there is a natto restaurant called Nattoya (Neverland) that natto lovers will absolutely adore. It's a true dreamland where natto is used in almost all dishes, including desserts. My recommendation is the Natto Carbonara, where natto and carbonara go incredibly well together. The courses range from 2500 yen, offering a satisfying volume at a reasonable price. Whether you love natto or not, this dreamland is a must-visit for everyone.

Natto cuisine specialty store located near Yakuin Station. I visited to have a light meal late at night. They stop taking orders at 11:00 PM and are open until 11:30 PM. The interior has 6 four-person tables, 3 two-person tables, a counter, and a semi-private room in the back. The north side has glass windows, creating an open atmosphere. The staff all wear masks and provide attentive service. The menu is rich in dishes using plenty of domestically produced large natto beans, making it a recommended spot for natto lovers. I tried the Squid and Enoki Natto Lemon Butter Sauce Stir-Fry (880 yen tax included), which had a great combination of lemon butter with squid and enoki mushrooms. The natto has a rich bean flavor, and the natto smell is almost unnoticeable due to the lemon butter. It's a taste that makes you keep eating. I also had the Natto Carbonara with Fresh Pasta (1000 yen tax included), which was creamy with plenty of eggs, bacon, natto, and cheese. The mellow taste of natto matches well with the carbonara. I enjoyed it with a lemon sour. This place is perfect for natto lovers, especially for gatherings like girls' night out. Thank you for the meal.

This is a natto specialty store that has been appearing on TV frequently due to the health boom. I used to dislike natto when I was a child, but I eventually overcame it and started to enjoy it around the time I learned about shochu. On this day, I made a rare business trip to Omuta on the Nishitetsu train. I decided to try their lunch before boarding the train. I was tempted by the natto pasta lunch, but I chose the daily special of domestically produced pork and cabbage ginger stir-fry for 780 yen. It arrived in about 5-6 minutes. The dish came with natto croquettes and natto, fitting for a specialty store. When I tried the ginger stir-fry, the thinly sliced pork was cut too finely, making it clump together like meatballs. The cabbage was also overcooked and limp. The ginger flavor was subtle, but the rice was enjoyable. Hmm, the evaluation is a bit tricky. The natto had a tangy taste, maybe from the sauce, and the croquettes had a nice natto flavor. It's not that it's not delicious, but there seems to be room for improvement. Maybe I should have chosen the pasta lunch after all.
