Thanks for bringing back THAT slightly odd memory. Every time I see the label – or even WORD – Qoo – I hear someone saying it in this kind of creepy high-pitched voice.

How did I spend 5 nights in Tokyo and not get a single hot beverage from a vending machine?!? Anyways, I too tried the nattou whilst in Japan, and can vouch for it's grossness. It's not that it tastes particularly foul, but seriously, the texture is just wrong on every level. I can't imagine eating tororo, how does a food culture that is so dependent on chop-sticks even come up with that? Seriously!
