What do you think goes best with white rice? One person says, "Korean seaweed!" Another says, "Salmon flakes are the ultimate!" "It's got to be pickled mustard greens!" "No, it's takuan!" "Don't forget the furikake!" "Umeboshi is number one!" "Squid shiokara, obviously!" The debate gradually heats up. "It's yakiniku!" "Then it's a seafood bowl!" "In that case, oyakodon!" "Bibimbap is the strongest!" It's completely out of control. "Very well. Then it is war." Amidst all this, one girl makes a loud declaration. "I love NTR!" "Natto Tamago Rice! NTR for short. It's the greatest masterpiece Japan has ever produced!" Japan's food culture allows for the safe consumption of raw eggs. And natto is a traditional fermented food that Japan is proud of. She passionately argues that when these two meet on top of white rice, a miracle is born. "Hey, you love NTR too, don't you?" This story is a ruthless dining table war over the white rice that Japanese people—no, Asians—have loved for ages. Who is truly the most suitable partner for white rice? Now, the greatest debate in history begins over a rice bowl.
