Freeze-dried Natto 60g

Natto is undoubtedly one of the most difficult Japanese delicacies for Westerners to adopt. It consists of small steamed soy beans, inoculated with the bacillus subtilis natto bacterium for fermentation.

This very Nipponese delicacy puts off novices because the beans are so sticky that they form filaments when handled. Gustatively, flavors are strangely reminiscent of a well-made Camembert. Natto is highly nutritious, extremely rich in vitamin K2 (beneficial action on vascular calcification and osteoporosis) and amino acids, and has beneficial effects on intestinal flora.

Natto is a staple of traditional Japanese breakfasts. Everyone uses it in their own way. We recommend seasoning with lightly sweetened soy sauce, karachi mustard or strong French mustard, an egg yolk and nori crumbs.
