They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but lately I've been feeling kinda bored with my usual go-tos. I typically eat some Greek yogurt with granola and frozen wild blueberries ...

While I enjoy the fermentation process, you can also purchase prepared natto and nukazuke ... I'll make some nori-wrapped rice balls, for the perfect to-go breakfast, snack or lunch.

A start-up firm affiliated with Keio University developed a new food source made of a powdered form of a bacterium used for natto fermented ... also apparently make rice cakes easier to chew.
