RADIO BERRY FM Tochigi On the January 18, 2021 (Mon) broadcast of the radio program “IZ*ONE Honda Hitomi’s World Get You” (broadcast every Monday from around 16:25 for 10 minutes / within B･E･A･T).
Honda Hitomi: Finally, a quick Korean lesson from Hii-chan.
Today, it’s a request from Kotori-chan, a radio name from Saitama Prefecture.
Listener email: About three years ago, I had the first natto boom, and I think Hii-chan did too, and now we’re experiencing the second natto boom.
So I was wondering what natto is called in Korean. Please tell me.
By the way, I like to eat it with vinegar.
Honda Hitomi: Right! Wow, three years ago! Yes, I really liked natto too♪
It was already a rule for me to have natto rice every morning when I went to school.
Yes, “natto” in Korean, but it’s the same as it is.
We don’t say “natto” but “낫토 (natto)”. Are they the same? (laughs)
Yes. They are the same.
Yes, there are quite a lot of things that are the same in Korean and Japanese.
This time, well, it’s the same, so it’s easy to remember, everyone (laughs)
By the way, I also really like eating it with vinegar.
When you eat natto with vinegar, it mixes up really fluffy. I also add egg yolk.
