Notes
- Substitute: If your natto doesn't come with sauce and karashi, you can use soy sauce or make it by mixing soy sauce, dashi (soup stock), and sugar.
- Storage: Keep natto in the fridge or freezer. When eating frozen natto, please leave it in the refrigerator for a half-day to defrost naturally - no microwave oven, as it ruins the taste.
- You can find Natto at Asian grocery stores or Japanese supermarkets. You would find it around the tofu section or frozen section.
- If unsure about the taste, stir it as much as possible to increase the umami (savory) flavor.
