If taking the supplement does it matter if you take it on an empty stomach or not? I have been taking it in the morning before I eat and I try to wait at least 30 minutes or even an hour before I eat. I wonder does that matter?

I’ve been making my own natto for over 10 years now. I learned how from Natto Dad online. He’s great!

My starter is 1/9 of the size pack in your picture, make a really delicious ( to me!) natto which is VERY neba-neba (stringy) and tastes (to me) like roasted sunflower seeds.

I put the finished 2 cups of natto into ice cube trays, providing me with 36 one-ounce servings (which I eat daily).

You are 100% correct: it IS an acquired taste. But luckily, it works well for me!

Appreciate your article! Thanks!

He’s also on YouTube

It’s pretty easy to learn 😁

Can you link your online recipe? I've tried making my own before but it was hit or miss so I gave up. Now I buy it at a Japanese Supermarket.
