Has anyone tried Kusaiya?

Kusaiya?? have not heard of that.. what kind of food is that??

Abasio · (#13 (**permalink**))

It is fish!
But that's not the bad part.
They have vats of this sauce that has been fermenting for 200 years. 200!!! & it absolutely stinks. Worse than any food I've ever tried.
& the taste is like rotten fish, I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for days. No amount of brushing, gargling or spirits would get rid of it.
I wont be trying that again.

I lived in Japan for a very long time, ate just about everything you can imagine, even grasshoppers (very good by the way) but could never get past the smell of Natto let alone eat the stuff…oh my! My wife and kids on the other hand eat Natto like it’s going out of style…to each his own I guess…bonappetite!

Lemon hart 151 proof (75.5% abv) straight was the only thing that could burn the taste away.

Thanks for the advise but I'll never eat Kusaiya again regardless of the possible remedies for that after...after...after taste!

just wanted to say that I like to eat natto. it's not my favourite, but I like it. Sure, the smell is aweful, but one can learn to ignore it
