YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese 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)

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 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.

I love Natto as a quick and healthy snack. They are high in probiotics, which as we know are essential for a healthy gut biome, aka our "2nd brain". The smell, texture and taste are all enticing. I would eat them more often, but they are very expensive per ounce, otherwise I would be giving Natto five stars, and eating it daily.

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.

I'm so surprised how good this is! I start at night and follow the directions to only add enough water to cover the beans. Then I leave it in the refrigerator overnight. It's perfect for lunch time. When you remove it make sure you stir it around and you'll get that texture you're looking for. I cannot get organic Nato where I live and shipping it in a glass container is too expensive. This is perfect and you can make exactly how much you want!

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

good product

Very expensive and it quite hard to make it right consistency
