An acquired taste!☑️ As described and as advertised.☑️ Well packaged and well presented.☑️ Excellent tamper evident pouch before opening.☑️ Good resealable pouch with press seal so no need to decant.☑️ Very nutritious fermented food but is an acquired taste!

Tried this in a protein shake, and it was fine. There isn't much of an odour, and I couldn't really taste it. I tried natto before many years ago, and I didn't like it, but this is something different, and can be utilised in a greater number of ways. It's difficult to get fermented foods into the diet that don't cause some kind of digestive issue in and of themselves (i.e. cabbage (cruciferous) - kimchi/ sauerkraut; milk (dairy) - kefir), but this seems okay.It's expensive though, and at £15 for 50g of product, it's hard to get excited about, although, this seems to be normal based on similar products I've looked at. It's almost like the economics I've observed with matcha tea. I would try getting this from a local East Asian grocer first, and if you're still out of luck, then consider.

I ordered this bag of Fermented Natto Powder from the brand YAMASAN KYOTO UJI. It's basically a freeze-dried powdered form of the fermented natto speciality from Japan. I have a Japanese market near me and I have bought fresh ( refrigerated Natto many times, I think Natto deserves its reputation as a superfood. And I don't intend to stop buying that **when I can**. However the combination of it being tricky to get hold of fresh Natto, the shelf life in the fridge (not long) and the - ahem - interesting flavour for fresh Natto, means it is good to think I can have something more accessible in the store cupboard to use in between. This is it.it's certainly true the Natto is supplied in a small amount, just 50g, for the current listed price of £14.99. However, given the other alternative to fresh Natto is something like a capsule supplement, which would also cost a fair bit per capsule, I am happy to go with a less-processed powder form. 33 servings for £14.99 does not seem outrageous when you are comparing it to that. Also, fresh Natto is often in the region of £1 per portion (it comes in little yoghurt tub things). So I think the cost is on a par generally.The natto does not have much taste. it doesn't have that trademark natto flavour; well perhaps a gentle echo, not the unmistakable taste. So if you want natto for the flavour, go for fresh, but if you want the nutrient mix, and the enzyme properties, rather than the flavour, this is a useful option.Five stars.

This is a 50g pack of natto powder. 50g is not a lot, so you would need to use it sparingly.You can sprinkle some onto your food or add it to drinks and smoothies etc.It's currently £14.75. I think that is far too expensive for only 50g. 😲

This powder is weird, has almost no flavour, so it's basically useless.

Natto is a staple of many Japanese often eaten at breakfast, it is also one of the things that people associate with their good health. I have had Natto capsules as a supplement and of course they do not taste of anything as you just swallow them. After reading that the taste of Natto was not always appreciated by European palates I really wanted to taste it. Natto with Soy beans is available but seems to be expensive to purchase and tricky to source, then I saw this which is freeze dried so is easy to keep and gives me the chance to see what the taste is! Having tried it to me it actually tastes like Wurthers sweets, with an umami effect, I have put it on my cereal where it works fine for me. I can well believe though that the taste will not be to everyone's liking! It is very high in vitamin K and studies show it aids blood circulation and there is the enzyme nattokinase in it which can help break up blood clots it seems. Like many naturally fermented products it helps the gut biome which is a good thing.
