Not Ready for Sticky Natto? Start Here

Natto — fermented soybeans — is a beloved breakfast staple in Japan, but its strong aroma and sticky, stringy texture can be a real hurdle for first-timers. If you've been curious about natto but not quite ready for the traditional version, our vacuum-fried natto snack is a good place to start: same umami flavor, none of the stickiness, and it's ready to eat straight from the bag. Here are four easy ways to enjoy it.

1. Straight from the Bag

The simplest way to try it. Each pack is light and crunchy, closer to a crisp than anything sticky, so you can eat it as-is as a snack any time of day.

2. Rice Bowl Topping

Sprinkle a handful over a warm bowl of rice for a crunchy topping — you get the umami flavor people associate with natto, without the texture that can be off-putting to first-timers. Add a fried egg and a drizzle of soy sauce for a quick, satisfying bowl.

3. Trail Mix Add-in

Because it's dry and shelf-stable, our natto snack mixes easily into a homemade trail mix with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit — a savory, umami-forward twist on a familiar snack.

4. Salad Topper

Use it the way you'd use croutons or crispy onions: sprinkle a small handful over a green salad or grain bowl for extra crunch and a savory, fermented-soybean flavor.

Available in 4 flavors: Wasabi, Sea Salt, Umeboshi, and Dashi. Each pack is about 30–33 calories, so it's an easy snack to keep at your desk, in your bag, or in the pantry.
