YAMASAN KYOTO UJIJapanese Natto Fermented Soybean, Freeze-Dried Natto Beans, Japanese Probiotic and Prebiotic Superfood - Vitamin K, Low Sodium, Non-GMO, Vegan, Made in Japan 70g(2.4oz)

I only ate the dry crunchy version. In my opinion it tastes great if you are used to Japanese and Korean cuisines. You can mix it in salads,soups, stews, etc. The fermented flavor is barely noticeable in my opinion, unless once again you are not acquainted with it. Just note that the portion of the bag is small, and the powder at the bottom of the bag is the Nattokinase protein. It should be mixed with the beans before eating.

This was the first natto I tried, and I thought it was thoroughly disgusting in ways that defy description in the English language. But, no choice; I'm taking it for the mk7 because I have abnormal, extremely early onset osteoporosis, and I'm under orders to get all the "bone" vitamins from food sources on top of the mountainous piles of supplements I'm also taking. So I landed on just grabbing a couple handfuls straight out of the bag and chomping on it dry just to get it down every day.Now, while that description might sound like it wouldn't quite warrant this five-star review... hear me out. Because I recently purchased a different brand of batto that was larger, for a better price.Natto is natto, right?NATTO SO FAST.When the new bag arrived, I performed my now-usual osteoporotic self-flagellative routine and grabbed a handful, popped it in my mouth, started chewing, and.... gagged it right back out.It was... it was... I can't even describe how it was. Ick. ICK. How can natto, which is already indescribably bad, be made indescribably worse?? However that is, the cheaper natto brand figured out how to do it. I can only speculate, such as wondering if they perhaps fermented THEIR natto in cat urine in an effort to improve the taste, but the attempt sadly backfired and made a bad thing worse.Downside: Wasted money on that other natto, and natto ain't cheap.Upside: Made THIS brand of natto taste like carnival cotton candy by comparison and I'm sorry I wasn't appropriately appreciative before. I've left the other bag of natto sitting next to it on the counter so every time I grab this one, I'm reminded to be grateful as I choke it down.

I love love love natto, but it's hard for me to get natto. The nearest grocery store with it is miles away and they don't even always carry it even then. I bought this to try since if I could get it delivered and stored like this it would be very convenient.I think this is good if you don't really like natto all too much and you're just trying to get the health benefits. There is barely any smell, no slime, and the tangy bite I love most from natto isn't there. They're a tasty snack though, crunchy and healthy for you so if you're interested but scared of the real stuff this could be good.The back also has a recommendation for rehydrating the natto. I have to tell you, do NOT do this!!! It just turns into a soggy slimy bland mess since its missing the primary natto taste.

Significantly smaller than I was expecting for the price, only slightly larger than my hand and even rehydrated gave very little. Was hoping to find a way to store bulk natto but for the price it is not worth it at all. You can buy fresh/frozen natto at any Asian store for less than a third of the price. Taste was okay, not great compared to regular natto, but that’s to be expected for something freeze dried. Would be worth the purchase if the price wasn’t so exhorbitant.

Wonderful.

only 70grams, mix with warm water not just "water" as on the label

Very expensive and it quite hard to make it right consistency

This freeze dried Natto product is pretty good. I have since ordered another pack.The thing I miss is the familiar "strong aroma" of other Natto products that I usually purchase at my local Asian grocery store.But, no worries. The taste is good for a freeze dried product. When preparing this freeze dried Natto, I usually add just a little water (water just level with the top of the beans) in a small microwave safe dish, and warm it up for 1 minute at 50% setting to start the rehydrating process. I let it set for at least 15 - 20 minutes. After 15 +- minutes, I stir it up and let it set for another 10 +- minutes, checking the consistancy of the Natto.Since I'm going to consume this over hot gohan immediately, this method has worked for me. Also, add one's favorite sauce condiment.Thank you!
