To be clear, I'm in the pro-liver camp but have never had natto. I'm sure it packs a ton of umami, but "lumpy snot" is not a texture that in any way appeals to me.

 

The strands that pull away from each other are a lot like hot melted cheese strands.  And the taste is extremely miso adjacent- like an unsalted miso. Bottom line, it's beans.  Not everyone loves beans, obviously, but, in forum like this, it's a pretty safe bet to assume that the OP likes beans.

 

At the end of the day, and no offense to folks who love natto, my recommendation isn't about going from inedible (kale) to delicious.  It's a lesser evil.  It's exponentially better nutrition with considerably less gustatory pain.
