In Japan, natto is contained in a styrofoam container individually for each serving and comes with natto sauce and karashi (Japanese mustard).

And we use the sauce as well in this recipe.

Where to Buy Natto

If you live in Japan, it's so easy to find natto in a grocery store or convenience store. It is usually placed around the tofu area.

If you live outside of Japan, try to find it in the Japanese grocery store (or Asian grocery store).

If you live in the US, I found this frozen natto in Walmart: Shirakiku Mito Natto. Please check that out, too.
