When I think of natto the first thing that comes to mind is the strong smell. If someone does not know what natto is it is best to describe it for them. I did not know the name natto but I knew of fermented soybeans with a strong smell that is popular in Japan and other Asian countries. Maybe saying that will let someone know what you are talking about.
Natto is fermented Soybeans.
To explain.
"Have you ever tried Natto?"
"What does Natto taste like?"
"The best way to describe Natto is as fermented soybeans."
"Natto, or fermented soybeans have a strong flavor and a slimy texture."
Hope this helps!

"Natto" Is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans.
It is an acquired taste because not everyone will enjoy eating it. It has a strong flavor, strong smell and is slimy in texture.
Acquired- not everyone will like it
Texture- Feeling
It is often eaten as breakfast.
It is similar to fermented soybeans but smells like pungent cheese!
Japanese cuisine has become famous around the world and so if you meet the occasional person who doesn't know what Natto is you can tell them that the direct translation to English would be fermented soybeans. Although they wouldn't know what it truly is until they taste it but you have to warn them about the smell!You could bring the picture closer to them by saying it's also eaten at breakfast or even with spaghetti!
Hope this helps!
The idea of eating anything that is fermented is quite unusual in the UK. Fermentation gives the idea that something is not fresh, or the fruit or vegetable is starting to turn to alcohol. However, natto may be an acquired taste for those who dare to try it!
"I'm not sure I should try natto!"
英国では発酵文化があまり浸透していないので、発酵食品を食べること自体が珍しいことです。発酵されたものは、食べ物が新鮮でないこと、果物や野菜がアルコール化され始めている、とうイメージがあります。納豆は嗜好品であり、納豆を食べる人はチャレンジャーですね！
