This is a nice source of protein and a convenient way to get a taste of Japan

This was the first natto I tried, and I thought it was thoroughly disgusting in ways that defy description in the English language. But, no choice; I'm taking it for the mk7 because I have abnormal, extremely early onset osteoporosis, and I'm under orders to get all the "bone" vitamins from food sources on top of the mountainous piles of supplements I'm also taking. So I landed on just grabbing a couple handfuls straight out of the bag and chomping on it dry just to get it down every day.Now, while that description might sound like it wouldn't quite warrant this five-star review... hear me out. Because I recently purchased a different brand of batto that was larger, for a better price.Natto is natto, right?NATTO SO FAST.When the new bag arrived, I performed my now-usual osteoporotic self-flagellative routine and grabbed a handful, popped it in my mouth, started chewing, and.... gagged it right back out.It was... it was... I can't even describe how it was. Ick. ICK. How can natto, which is already indescribably bad, be made indescribably worse?? However that is, the cheaper natto brand figured out how to do it. I can only speculate, such as wondering if they perhaps fermented THEIR natto in cat urine in an effort to improve the taste, but the attempt sadly backfired and made a bad thing worse.Downside: Wasted money on that other natto, and natto ain't cheap.Upside: Made THIS brand of natto taste like carnival cotton candy by comparison and I'm sorry I wasn't appropriately appreciative before. I've left the other bag of natto sitting next to it on the counter so every time I grab this one, I'm reminded to be grateful as I choke it down.

Honestly I used to hate natto when I first tried it bexause I couldn't get over the texture. But I wanted to like it. So I tried this and found that I started to love the taste.

I purchased this natto product for the kinase as indicated to counter some of the side effects of the bad shot. Am fond of natto for its taste and texture a this approach is all that is available unless there is a local source I have yet to find. I expected more product for that price but so be it . Very small portion..

I only ate the dry crunchy version. In my opinion it tastes great if you are used to Japanese and Korean cuisines. You can mix it in salads,soups, stews, etc. The fermented flavor is barely noticeable in my opinion, unless once again you are not acquainted with it. Just note that the portion of the bag is small, and the powder at the bottom of the bag is the Nattokinase protein. It should be mixed with the beans before eating.
