The third of a series of many different ways to eat natto. This episode shows how to make soup with natto and instant creamy soup. A great way to keep warm during the winter months.

Please subscribe to the JAPUNDIT Video Channel and you can become eligible to win a sweatshirt with strange Japanese English on it that I have worn on a video.
