Seems July 10th ( 7/10 ) was designated "Natto Day (納豆の日)" in 1992.

Today's evening news show covered various natto dishes including natto as a pasta topping and natto omelette. However, they forgot to mention that the recommended natto dose is about one 50g serving per day to avoid overloading the digestive system.

In 2025, Japan exported 5,248 metric tons of nattō, the infamously slimy, pungent fermented soybean dish — a sign that the sometimes reviled and sometimes beloved food is gaining converts overseas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/06/22/food-drink/natto-popularity-overseas-superfood-new-type/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #fermentation #diets #natto

Natto-ku Dekinai! Price of Japan’s Stinky National Food Spikes

With Japan talking to NATO lately, and pushing its defense spending to 2% of GDP, perhaps NATO should become the Non-Authoritarian Treaty Team Organization (NATTO) and then Japan would join for sure.

I shouldn't be surprised but after extensive phone calls to various soy bean suppliers and growers it seems soy bean knowledge extends as far as "soy beans" and not to the wide variety of strains known elsewhere. To be fair there are a few strains in Australia, but unsurprisingly they're more about yield than function and most get pulped into tofu and soy milk or animal feed.

My last 2 batches of #Natto have shown that in pressure cooking the beans there must be mere microseconds between too firm beans and fall apart slop beans.

The fermentation gods have my soybeans. May they kindly return them tomorrow stinky, stringy and slimey 🙏

Anyone here in #Australia make their own #Natto? Have you found a source of good #soybeans for making Natto? The only ones I can find locally are not overly good for Natto as they add extra processing work and create an inferior final product.

A rarity for breakfast in UK: Homemade #natto #納豆 #なっとう (received as a gift) and Japanese rice

I ❤️ natto! I'm tremendously grateful to the old Japanese woman who shamed me into trying it. Thanks whoever you are!

Does anyone have experience with Vegan Natto? There's some at my local Korean market, but I'm unsure if it's Vegan.

From reading online, I've found that generally it's considered Vegan... with the possible exception of any flavour packets included. But I've also read that the fermentation bacteria can be animal sourced, so I'm not sure.

I had natto and white rice for breakfast. Nothing fancy with it, just a bit of soy sauce.

I think I’m in love.

Anyone got a reliable uk source for good natto? Amazon’s a ripoff (and evil and I don’t want to give them money).

Ich wollte das ja schon lange Mal probieren und habe es diese Woche im Asialaden in der Fleethörn im Tiefkühler gefunden.

Ja, ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber wenn man an Camembert denkt, dann hat das schon geschmackliche Ähnlichkeit.

I found some natto in the back of the freezer! It's pretty old but seems fine. I mean, how do you tell if natto has gone bad? 😅

Making a small-ish batch of sauerkraut today (4.5kg of cabbage) and after that I think it is time to make natto 納豆 again. Need to steam the dried soybeans and all that fun. I don’t have any natto-kin so I just use a pack of commercial natto to inoculate, and then set my dehydrator to low and slow to ferment the soybeans.

Interesting article on Vitamin K-2.

It is a vitamin most people do not get. It can prevent the build up of arteriosclerosis, even for people with low cholesterol and a genetic predisposition to arteriosclerosis. It also does a lot to promote bone health and the health of gums.

There is only 1 vegan source with significant amounts. Natto. Natto is fairly disgusting and brands that are reliably vegan are expensive.

Good news: you only need about 12 grams a day - about 1 heaping tablespoon. A $5 3.5 ounce container can last you a week.

@ChaplinTokyo #Natto ?

I've eaten it & I like it but THAT's definitely an acquired taste. LOL! 😉

Oha, sag ich nur - my worsest fears wie ich mich erinnere #Nattō

I really like natto for breakfast but I've never been crazy about the Styrofoam containers. Luckily, I found this, natto in little paper cups! Yum! #food #natto #breakfast
