I'm more agreeable to fish and hot pepper, so I guess at some point I must try storebought natto.
On the Unicum thing: several years back, Zwack released a new formulation called "Unicum Next" that was supposed to appeal to a younger demographic -- it's terrible but not terrible enough to get disconinued. And then when they licensed in America, for some reason they decided to market the disgusting Next line rather than the tasty classic line. So that's why American Zwack (apparently the name Unicum didn't play too well with focus groups) is disgusting.
My last bottle or two came from actually going to Hungary and picking one up, but that's not really viable as a regular solution. BevMo used to carry imported Unicum, but it seems like it's been completely displaced by the horrible Next crap. There are rumors that Canada has the real stuff, so if you can figure out a way to get it shipped...
