couple of years ago,i worked in hawaii. at the high end hotel where i stayed, was an amazing buffet of western foods (which i avoided)and 'eastern' foods. every morning, i chose natto, a bit of fish and rice. all the wait staff stopped by my table each day asking how i knew about natto and why i was eating it. i actually came to love natto after those two trips,but upon returning to the southwest desert landscape the only natto i found was filled with msg. i'd sure like to learn to make it since it's a highly valuable source of everything good for the blood. thank you for posting about it.

You're welcome! Natto culture can be purchased, https://www.ebay.com/itm/387612925378?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=387612925378&targetid=4580909053911840&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=603247654&mkgroupid=1236951625700523&rlsatarget=pla-4580909053911840&abcId=9316139&merchantid=51291&msclkid=40efaedd336214d6c90cc9413da3374c Once a culture is going, you keep feeding it some fresh food and removing part of the old batch - so a family with homemade Natto fermenting might traditionally have some at breakfast as the culture is being fed new soybeans and some are being removed. I don't know though. I haven't read about making natto.
