Homemade Natto

natto2.jpg

We've tried making natto before, but we never had wara (rice straw) so could never "really" make "real" natto. This time we have the straw, which is home to the natto-keen bacteria which causes the soy beans to ferment into the delicious sticky mess I can't live without.

This natto is amazing, and Tomoe is now a star in the village for making it. We get requests every day to teach locals how their mom or grandmom used to do it.

Oishiisou!

hi,

i have just found your blog and really liked it. im specially interested on your knoledge of natto making and other soja fermented products.

i am currently trying to make homemade soy sauce and would appreciate your recommendations.
i see that you put the soy beans on the rice straw in order to let the koji grow (i have sustituted it with koji spores i bought through the internet)
I suppose your process is boiling/ steaming the beans until tender, putting them on the rice straw and leaving them at aprox 30º celcius for over 3 days and then its done... am i correct?
do you have any exp with soy sauce or miso making?

thanks a lot. best regards,
