Natto Recipe for

Beginners
Matt

This is a recipe for people who don't

like natto. Natto is an ultra-healthy
superfood. But many people say it's an
acquired taste. I hope this simple and
easy recipe, which masked the taste
and smell of plain natto, will help you
learn to love eating it!

5. Add yolk on top.*

NOTES
*It's normal and safe to eat raw egg in Japan. In your home country, please consult with an
expert before consuming raw egg because of the risk of salmonella.

*Adjust the amount of olive oil, vinegar, and mustard to your taste. I prefer extra mustard.
