Lovely tutorial! I am in Oregon, and last weekend found prepared Natto whilst traveling, and am excited to have a batch in a baking dish, fermenting on top of a pot holder, over a heated seed starting mat! It's holding at an even 110°F. I will use parchment paper for the first layer next time! I'll store in glass containers in the fridge ❤
Your tutorial is very clear and you have done a great job! Can I do something else instead of the plastic cling foil, I avoid using plastic as much as possible for environmental reasons.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I have been using wax paper for the first layer, and it's been successful. I'm sure you can use it for the second layer as well.
thank you so so much for this video, really easy to follow, I will do it this week ! Because here ( in France ) natto is relly expensive :( I have a question, once the prepared natto is ready to consume, ( after 24hrs in the fridge ), can I freeze it, and reuse a small portion for making another batch of natto ( or do I have to buy another package from store ) ?
Hello! I have never used my homemade natto as a starter to make another batch. I always use store-bought frozen natto. I have succeeded making natto with natto spores. If you are interested, please see this video. Thank you for your comment! ua-cam.com/video/_I2aDNoTcy0/v-deo.htmlsi=_9ZBRwez_0FE879C
I tried to prepare it at home and it did not work. I did not have fermentative bacteria, nor did I have a yogurt maker. So I used mint stems, then put it in a clay pot after cooking. Then I put the pot in warm water and covered it with perforated plastic in a dark place. I used to replace The water was cooled with hot water several times throughout the fermentation period, but in the end it did not work. I used thin soybeans. I did not find fermented bacteria in the markets here in Algeria.
Thanks for this recipe!!! I crave Natto so much, but it`s so hard to find where I live. Also it almost always contains Bonito-extract and even Alcohol!!! I cannot have a drop of Alkohol so I`m now considering making my own Natto. I`ve heard you can also make it in a rice cooker?? Have you tried this? My rice cooker can make joghurt as well, so I would just use the programme for joghurt.
thank you very much for your video iwant to use your method but without ferented natto as a starter as here in Algeria , japanese restaurants do not make nattoLOL Do you have a video in which we use mint leaves as starter? THANKS
When I ferment using a starter, the beans turn out very sticky. However, if I use the previous frozen batch, they come out weak and not sticky. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Dear Sir, I have greatly benefited from the valuable information you provide and your lack of hesitation in responding to me previously in many comments. I wanted to know new information, which is why when I produce natto at home, some batches contain ammonia, and how to avoid that and how to treat it if it happens, knowing that I now use natto Moto starter. .
the question is whether to add the starter when the bean had cooled down or add it when its very hot. Initially I add it when the bean had cooled down, not successful. then i read that these natto bacterias will spore at high temperature, so now I add it as soon as the bean is cooked.
Thank you for your video. This is what I want to learn for making Natto. Could you tell me how many grams of one package of store bought Natto? Thanks.
thank you so much for this recipe! I don’t have a slow cooker so I’m so happy to know that you can make natto from scratch like this 😊

Thank you for the video 💖 I made my first natto batch yesterday and it was a semi-fail. I will try your method next time and the hot water bag hack

Hello. Unfortunately I have never used mint leaves as a natto starter. Good luck and thank you for your comment!
Well done on a fantastic video👏👏👏

Hello. If you leave freshly made natto in the fridge for 24 hours, ammonia smell should go away.
@@marikoveganRefrigerator, freezer, or which one works? Because I tried the freezer and it didn't work
the question is whether to add the starter when the bean had cooled down or add it when its very hot. Initially I add it when the bean had cooled down, not successful. then i read that these natto bacterias will spore at high temperature, so now I add it as soon as the bean is cooked.
I would cool down the steamed beans to body temperature before adding the starter. Good luck with your next attempt!
@@marikovegan Natto Dad youtube recommended add starter at 80 degree celcius.
Thank you for your video. This is what I want to learn for making Natto. Could you tell me how many grams of one package of store bought Natto? Thanks.
I believe it is 50 grams.
@@marikovegan thank you
Made Natto following your video. Succeeded! Thank you so much.
Can I use kombucha as a starter to make natto?
Unfortunately, I have never tired kombucha as a natto starter.
No
thank you fir sharing your Natto video.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching the video.
DOES IT HELP TO CHOP THE BEANS UP IN A BLENDER BEOFRE FERMENTATION.?
I'm wondering if you find the beans too big. If so, it may be worth trying. I have never chopped my soy beans before.
This form of natto chopped (& usually de hulled) before fermentation is called Hikiwari. It is known to have a higher proportion of vit K!
@@marikovegan also sometimes you get better results boiling the beans in the pressure cooker instead of steaming.
