My elderly friend was on death's door due to diabetes. I introduced him to Natto. He loved the flavor and is now consuming 3-4 servings of Natto per day. His energy is returning and his cellulitis in his legs has greatly reduced. Also, the brown skin on his legs is going away. It's incredible.

If you like, you can homemake natto so easily w/ Instant Pot! The homemade Instant Pot method is extremely cheaper than commercial bought and a lot fresher - and tastier -, too! Homemade, you can play w/ different kinds of beans - although some do not work, garbanzo is invariably successful (i.e.: I learnt different types of lentils yield very different results). Good luck.

If more people ate Natto, there would be far fewer older people with broken bones. Hip replacements in the US would drop to almost zero. The reason is Natto is high in K2 (mk7), which is responsible in bone strengthening. There is a misconception that calcium makes strong bones. not exactly accurate. K2 is more important because it tells the calcium where to go. Calcified arteries would almost disappear also.

Yeah calcium making bones strong is a huge mistake on the milk companies part. Vitamin d, k2, potassium, magnesium, calcium and other micronutrients all play a part. If u get ur calcium but ignore all the rest, it's going to do more harm than good. Calcium without these other nutrients is though to be toxic to the body. And that's really because mishandled calcium in the body leads to disease.

I’ve learned to love natto after learning about how healthy it is! Great presentation!!

To mask the smell of Natto: add some chopped green onion, dried sea vegetable (Nori) , raw egg yolk and sesame. You can also season Natto with "Dashi Tsuyu"(Shoyu-based dense fish stock) instead of Shoyu.

Natto is one of those "required taste" foods. A lot of people find it offensive not just for its "smell" but for its sliminess and stickiness. But as you have offered, it's so true to add additional aromatics to make natto much more palatable. I am a cook at a popular Japanese restaurant in my hometown and you're correct about tsuyu mixed with tamago... Although I no longer eat raw eggs (kake gohan) due to biotin from the yolk not being able to be absorbed into the body compared to cooked yolks... Rather, I choose to mix natto with onsen eggs and a sprinkle of freshly grated garlic.

I have tried this for my breakfast in recent times and now feel more encouraged to use it in a greater variety of ways. The biofilm was not a turn off to me, although it was a bit surprising. I feel that after eating escargots, frog legs, or oysters in the shell, natto is not strange, and I like all of the above. I am now encouraged to make my own to avoid the freezing part of the purchased type and improve the health benefit.

Nice talk but such a pity you suggest that (deep)frozen natto loses quality. I thought this not to be the case and had this confirmed yesterday by a friend (professor specialised in biotech and former dean of the biology faculty of VU university in Amsterdam, Netherlands). He was adament: this suggestion is nonsense. The freezing process doesn’t make the natto less ‘effective’. By saying this, you discourage ppl outside Japan to eat natto (to buy if fresh in the Netherlands for example, is incredibly expensive, and not everybody will be motivated or able to produce it themselves). And if it were true, why are so many Japanese ppl living outside Japan use frozen natto as a starter. Unless you can provide solid science behind your statement regarding the negative effect of the freezing process, I will happily buy deepfrozen natto from a Japanese shop in my city until I manage to make it myself or until I can buy reasonably priced freshly made natto.
