Margarine-like spread, tub, hydrogenated, canola and soybean oil, 50% fat + Natto
Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis. It is popular especially as a breakfast food. As a rich source of protein and probiotics, natto and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. Natto can be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slippery texture. In Japan natto is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kanto, Tohoku, and Hokkaido.

Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Margarine-like spread, tub, hydrogenated, canola and soybean oil, 50% fat and Natto, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Margarine-like spread, tub, hydrogenated, canola and soybean oil, 50% fat and Natto overlap on 1 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
