A man in Japan has sparked online buzz after being spotted enjoying a full dinner of natto (fermented soybeans) and sake during his train commute. The video, titled "The Story of a Crazy Old Man Having Dinner with Natto and Sake on the Train," shows the man calmly eating the pungent dish and drinking sake from a flask while riding a train. The clip has drawn a mix of amusement and disbelief from viewers, with many commenting on the strong smell of natto in a confined space. Despite potential etiquette concerns, the man appears relaxed, treating the train cabin as his personal dining room.
