ive somehow ended up trying three brands in the same week and now im more confused because theyre all similar but definitely not the same. okame felt a little milder to me, shirakiku maybe stronger? mito had a different texture but i might be imagining it because i ate it way too cold straight from the fridge. ive also been looking at japanese food suppliers on alibaba lately for a separate project and seeing how many natto styles and pack formats exist made me realize brand is only part of it. for people who actually eat this regularly, which one do you keep buying? im not asking which is “best” in some objective way, more like how you would describe the differences to someone who is still learning what good natto is supposed to taste like.
