Sachiaki Takamiya is a writer and the creator of Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He has authored a range of books, with one of his better-known works being the spiritual adventure novel, Ten-jo-no-Symphony, published in Japanese by Kodansha in 2006. His contributions in English include The Ikigai Diet, and Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
He embraces a sustainable lifestyle in a serene town in Shiga Prefecture, growing his own vegetables and crafting fermented foods. In 2018, he innovatively translated this lifestyle into a diet, thus birthing the Ikigai Diet. In 2022, he further enriched this diet, transforming it into a holistic health approach called Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
Homemade natto has been a staple of his diet for nearly a decade, holding a central role in the Ikigai Diet. Embracing this passion for natto, he donned the moniker ‘Natto King’ in 2022 and began disseminating natto-related insights via his UA-cam channel, the Ikigai Diet.
His health-focused lifestyle has certainly paid dividends. Despite being in his early 60s, he consistently receives clean bills of health.

🇨🇦 Vegan 80,, I eat one main meal a day, 25 g of nato, Shiitake, mushrooms, black lentils, black beans, chickpeas,, Hummus, avocado, red onions, seaweed, radicchio in a chickpea wrap with ripe mango.
I have learned so much about natto from your videos. I have also just started reading Natto Unleashed. About a week ago, I made my first batch of natto, and my husband and I have been eating it every evening. We are 66 and 67, and we are eating it for its health benefits (cardiovascular and bone health). Thank you so much for sharing this great information!
All plants have protein. Bottom concern is our food is not food anymore
Thank you for sharing. Your content is really good and you also replied about thyroid issue people about Nattokinase which shows you are knowleagable. I could not praise enough how grateful i am, for coming across this video. Thank you so much for your efforts and your good intentions for sharing your knowledge with us all. Have a blessed day ahead.
For me it tastes best in sushi and in sushi rice bowls with wasabi mayo
Thank you for this vidoe it is helping me to put together my new lifestyle eating habit.😊
Awesome. Thanks
I am following carnivore diet. But I only eat once a day. I might eat a tablespoon of natto few times a week.. I was a vegetarian and it really messed up my health and my gut
Yes, you can try eating some natto, which might add other health benefits.
If you take vitamin D, you must take Vitamin K-2 MK7 also. Vitamin D can put calcium in blood stream. K2-Mk7 like what is in Natto, removes the calcium to teeth and bones.
Trans form k2 mk7
I eat natto about 5 times per week. I sometimes buy it from Nyrture Foods in NYC and sometimes in Asian markets in my area. I live in Fort Worth Texas. Sometimes I make it myself. I prefer making it in my insta pot because it is so easy.
The way I have grown to eat it is to make myself a big bowl of sauerkraut. I put about 4 cups of homemade sauerkraut in a bowl and then scoop a one cup serving of natto onto the top of the sauerkraut. Then I eat it with a big glass of water.
I have found that this is my super food meal and I really enjoy it since the health benefits of the sauerkraut and natto are so incredible.
Japan had a period where meat was banned for over 1,000 years. Many people are unaware of this. Plant-based has helped me in so many ways. I'm not strict vegan, but about 90% of my meals are vegan, and the remaining 10% of meals are pescetarian. I also avoid dairy (will occasionally tolerate cheese in small amounts). Haven't been sick in a decade. Natto and kimchi are amazing foods.
Hard to believe that fish, crabs, lobsters and octopus was banned.

@@KevinPatrickPalmer Ooops! Missed that somehow, :)
Thank you so much. I wish I knew about natto much earlier.
You are so welcome!
I am Deborah from Malaysia. I am 66 n I've begun to eat Natto. Thank you for teaching me about Natto
What are the remaining 9 healthiest foods, perJjapanese doctors?
You can make natto with black beans. I've made a couple batches. It's very easy
Can you share this idea and recipe
I imagine you are referring to black soybeans. In the west we have black beans that are not soybeans. Please tell me if you are using the western black beans and not the black soybeans. Western black beans are more easily affordable compared to black soybeans. Thank you.
I guess she meant black (Western) beans . I've never heard of black soy-beans.
But would the black beans natto give the same health benefits , if these two beans' composition are different or not exactly the same or similar?
Thank you very much for your detailed information . You have provided the safest way of consuming it, too, especially the purine part .
You are most welcome.
loving natto at the moment. thank you for this info
Thank you for sharing this important information
My pleasure
Thank you so much for all your great videos. I’m 64 , plant based and looking to making it even more healthy and adding natto back into my diet is a must. I really enjoy watching your videos and plan on getting your books as well. Thank you
Thank you for providing such a wonderful (and easy to understand) video.... I just started making and eating Natto one months ago, and my fast sugar level improves from 6.6 to 4.6 mmol/L, I am so happy as I have been looking for ways to improve my sugar level many years ago. Thank you for bringing back the ancient wisdom using modern and English languages... Thank you!
@@sanwong9788 me too! My A1C was 5.7, now, it’s 5.5. I’ve been eating Natto for three years now .
I make non traditional supernatto from defatted TVP w/ 1% sodium chloride and 2% sucrose, essentially 0 natto taste or smell, the biofilm is @3x, where the nattokinase and k2 are. Can't find or get a lab to test it. Eat 1kg with 2-3/4kg salmon per week, daily consumption. At 64 I had infrequent chest pain for years, not deep at all, presumed it wasn't heart, regardless, gone within week of adopting natto staple.
❤ thank you for your video I'm going to start using it I live here in United States I can't drink it pills they say a not taste very good but if it's good for you you have to eat it thank you so much a lot of benefits I appreciate your information your video thank you so much
Great content sir🎉😊
Thank you.
I already had excellent microbiome when I started making and eating natto months ago. I was amazed at the immediate improvement. I had not expected that. You know that nattokinase is VERY effective against COVID? Other viruses too! I started eating natto for the cardio benefits... The rewards piling up. Bought a dedicated natto maker, and use defatted soymeal. It's FAR more intense flavor, meaning more nattokinase and k2, @1/10th cost of whole soybeans. As soon as I'm near a feed store that carries soy hulls I'm going to buy and use, it's obvious that is the preferred medium for the bascillus, will be @1/25th cost of whole soybeans, and expect even more intense flavor. When I started I used TVP, works great, @1/2 cost of whole soybeans...
Now that is really interesting. Never heard of deffated soybean, what are the benefits? My only concern with the cheaper method you use though is they are certainly GMO. But yes, soybeans are quite expensive.
@@t-rozbenouameur5304 not necessarily GMO but probably, most non GMO soy US produce, Japanese get ALL their non GMO from here. They can't use soy with oil to feed ruminates, their digestive tract can't, it'll major screw them up. I don't like soy oil o-6.
Problem: in my country I cannot find soy bean with large package 1, 2, 3 . . .5 kilos with a cheap price.
The average price is 12 euros / kilo.
Which is waaaaay too much.
I search big quantities sellers, but find nothing.
Shall I import from india?
Can india be trusted when sellers certifies that they sell "bio" soy beans?
You just answered my question about osteopenia. Thank you☺️
Found this video very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. It's rare to hear the advice "common sense" these days. BTW I watched a video about natto on NHK World. A researcher advised that the recommended amount is 50 grams a day. I'd been eating less, maybe 30 grams. So, thinking to switch to 50 grams, I went to some supermarkets, but I found that most packets sold are only 40 ~ 45 grams. That surprised me. BTW I live in Japan, in Sendai (Miyagi). Why do you think it is that, if the recommended serving is 50 grams, most companies are producing packets with less than 50 grams?
Thank you for your comment. Did the NHK program say 50 grams or 1 pack? Usually, it is considered in Japan that 1 pack of natto a day is appropriate. 1 pack of natto is often about 50 grams, and therefore people started giving the number 50 grams. You are right, sometimes there are just 30 grams or 40 grams in 1 pack, but Japanese people are not concerned about the details( even doctors-haha), so I don't think it matters so much when they say 1 pack, it could be 30 grams or 50 grams, either number is okay. I say 50 grams of natto a day is appropriate because many people watch this channel make natto at home and having this reference is easier.
@@theikigaidiet3790 Thank you for responding. I think the interviewer asked the researcher how much natto is best, and the researcher replied 50 grams a day is the recommended amount, and, because many people buy packs of natto at a supermarket, I went looking for packs of 50 grams. I did find some, but they were the minority. Most packs available were under 50 grams (many 40 or 45 grams), which is why I was surprised, and wondered why, if the recommended amount is 50 grams-and most people I know eat one pack a day-are there so many brands with less than 50? Anyway it's not so important. But thank you.
Does anyone use it to improve sleep or do they use it before an athletic event?
Great content
Thank u 👍
Thank You
You're welcome
I love your Videos!
I have purchased two of your books on my Kindle, however I went to buy the “NATTO UNLEASHED “ book on Amazon but it says it can only be rented thru Kindle Unlimited?
I prefer to buy my books and not be tied into subscriptions.
Will you be making “NATTO UNLEASHED “ available through Amazon as a Kindle purchase?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope so I love your material!
Sorry for my late response. Thank you for buying my books. At which Amazon site did you try to buy Natto Unleashed? It should be sold both as kindle e-book and paperback. For the e-book, you should be able to choose kindle unlimited or one time purchase.
Supplements ?
Thanks for your video! I work on the road. Will supplementing Natto with 10000 iu daily be any benefit to health, verses the obviously preferred natural Natto?
As we age, muscle loss (sarcopenia) becomes a concern, making protein vital for people over 60. Experts recommend 1.2 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily to preserve muscle and support overall health. The myth that meat is harmful is outdated-high-quality sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins provide essential nutrients, including amino acids, that help maintain strength and vitality. In moderation, meat is a key part of a balanced diet and supports healthy aging.
If I make natto with beans instead of soy, does it also generate nattokinase?
Sorry for my late reply. I answered your question in this video.

We can't find natto being sold in our local market here.
Maybe google where its sold, maybe in asia/japanese markets. I live near Vienna Austria and I can get it in an Asian Store at the mall.....or make it yourself!
not too hard to make yourself , u can make it of other beans too
Can we make natto whiteout starter yiest
Maybe people of North European ancestry do better with meat diets? My gout and asthma disappeared after I stopped eating carbs, but I’m trying Natto as well. Interesting.
The same thing happened with me and I told my doctor and he looked at me like I was crazy. It doesn’t matter as long as I don’t have asthma and gout anymore, I don’t care what my doctor thinks. Funny how the medical world is.
@@remingtonhawaii Sometimes I’d rather consult a patient who really wants to get well at the lowest price and the fastest time!
Is Natto a blood thinner or the opposite? Why is not recommended for people on blood thinner medication? and thank you. It was ver important information.
Natto helps in blood circulation, a blood thinner,... However, if you are on medication, you should consult your doctor first. (If you can carefully monitoring your medication and Natto intake,... I am sure you do not need to take medication eventually. Some doctors know but not all of them ...)
Thank you for the reply. I'm expected to take blood thinner, but I'm taking my own (homemade) Natto instead. I'm trusting Natto with my life :)
I hope there was a way to test the effects( except a heart attack ) 😂
Good luck friend.
Nato is like warfarin (resolves blood clots), so you can consume it together with aspirin (prevents clots). I read a study in which the group taking aspirin + Nattokinase + k2 (190mg) had 15% more success than those without k2. Both groups decreased the arthroscopic by 35% at the end of the 12-month study/trial period
I am 44 with mild heart disease, I now make a Natto smoothie every morning with fresh Natto from local Japanese shop.
What else do you put in your smoothie?
@@jeanhigham5429 apple cider vinegar, whole apple, frozen blueberries, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper and turmeric (and black pepper) and a little bit of filtered water to loosen it up
Thank you. I’ll give it a try, I may need to have it just a pinch sweeter.
@@jeanhigham5429 sorry I forgot 1 whole lemon and a teaspoon of raw honey :)
does this help with your heart condition
I really want to eat natto everyday for its benefits but I just can't get past the texture. I've never been a fan of okra and other slimy veggies. I gag everytime i try to eat 😭 i'm trying to psych myself into eating by watching these videos
When you mix it with rice, the natto is mixed and the texture is no longer there anymore!
Thank you - balance and common sense are bottom line for health!!
Can you heat Natto, I enjoy it slightly warmed with sauerkraut and chilli sauce
Yes, you can.
On two occasions, even though I’ve gone through the same procedure. Natto has failed to develop. Is it possible when this happens to retry with the same beans as otherwise I just freeze them and use them in normal food. This has happened with saved samples from the freezer that I’ve tried to regenerate, and also with Fresh Bacteria purchased in from Japan
Thank you,
is it good ,for someone who has had a stroke and has a clouded brain and does not have control and does not walk much because of the fear of falling and does not have balance and the coronary artery is blocked at 85% .
the thyroid is underactive and has depression and takes 1 baby aspirin a day and medicine for blood pressure and diabetes. He likes to get help very much. Does kiwi clean the veins? What is Gambiz CBD?

Hi there! Look for Whole food plant based diet on social media........on this diet many many sicknesses are cured !
And Jesus Christ heals all sicknesses too, go to Mark Hemans` channel and watch the videos.....ppl with strokes cancer diabetes autism etc are all healed through the power of God. Remember how Jesus healed people with sicknesses during his time on Earth? Well it turns out that this power is still accessible today. Mark Hemans on UA-cam! Best of luck!
Protein is essential for people over 60 as it helps preserve muscle mass, supports metabolism, and aids in recovery. Contrary to the myth that meat is harmful, high-quality protein sources, including meat, provide essential nutrients like iron, B vitamins, and amino acids critical for maintaining strength and vitality. Studies debunk the outdated view that meat increases health risks-when consumed in moderation, it's a valuable part of a balanced diet for aging adults.
I eat Natto almost every day. I also make my own Natto.
That is wonderful.
How do make natto?? What is it?
@@patriciamharris5664 Natto Dad on UA-cam has instructions on how to make Natto.
Anyone having Natto create additional flatulence? Started eating less than 50 g Natto. Package lasting me 2 days. I didn’t have stinky gas before. Now I do. Smells like Natto 😝

Perhaps if your body has been digesting soya products for life and your of Japanese decent. But as a European decent and having dropped all soya products due to thyroid interferences id have to day Natto isnt a product id personallu benefit from. Thank you 😊
you can try chickpeas( garbabanzos)
Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are right about that. Whether you have been eating soy all your life or not might make a difference. Therefore, I recommend Shindofuji, eating locally. As for the thyroid interference, natto is a little different from regular soybeans, though, because it is fermented. It is said that fermentation helps to reduce or eliminate antinutrients found in soybeans, such as trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid. These antinutrients can interfere with digestion and the absorption of essential nutrients. Fermentation can also reduce the goitrogenic compounds present in soy, which can potentially interfere with thyroid function. With that said, if you have a thyroid problem, you don't have to eat soy natto. You might gain benefits from other fermented beans.
Can You Make Natto from Other Beans?
ua-cam.com/video/LJPuz-3cdNU/v-deo.html
Or you can just practice the Ikigai Diet without natto or soy products,
is it safe to eat natto everyday
Yes, 1 pack only
I eat 2 packs Natto everyday is it bad???
Maybe change to one pack for safety... (To me, one is enough... But sometimes, I eat 2 packs😉, we need to eat in moderation too)
hopefully japan can preserve their organic soybean plants bcuz other countries are using chemicals to grow them
That is the same in Japan. Most farmers use chemicals. There are a few farmers growing soybeans organically, and that is the same in other countries, too. There are certain farmers growing organic soybeans and you just need to find them.
