Homemade natto sauce ingredients.
  • Soy sauce: Soy sauce is the essential base of this recipe. Any type of soy sauce you normally use will work.
  • Sugar: A little sugar balances and rounds out the salty flavor. If you’re avoiding sugar, you can leave it out.
  • Vinegar: A small amount of vinegar adds a pleasant brightness to the sauce. Mild rice vinegar works especially well.
  • Dashi powder: Store-bought natto sauces often combine bonito and kombu dashi. This recipe uses only kombu dashi, but you can also use bonito or shiitake dashi to suit your taste.
  • Salt: Taste the sauce at the end and add salt as needed to adjust the seasoning.
