Overview Details Shipping & Delivery Kawaguchi Natto – Freeze-Dried Natto (Hikiwari Type) Natto is a traditional Japanese superfood packed with protein, fiber, and probiotics. But for those who find its strong smell and sticky texture challenging, this freeze-dried version offers a new way to enjoy natto—no slime, no mess. Produced by Kawaguchi Natto, a trusted natto maker in Miyagi Prefecture since 1937, this product is made from large, locally grown non-GMO soybeans that are fermented, crushed into hikiwari (roughly crushed, skinless) style, and then freeze-dried to lock in nutrition while transforming the texture into something delightfully crunchy. This unique process, based on a method developed by Dr. Muramatsu in 1912, results in a mild, nutty flavor that makes it approachable for natto newcomers, children, and older adults alike. Whether you're a longtime natto lover or trying it for the first time, this freeze-dried version offers a convenient and versatile way to enjoy it. Crisp, Nutty, and Easy to Enjoy Anytime With its texture similar to crushed peanuts and gentle natto aroma, Freeze-Dried Natto is a great addition to everyday meals. Mix it into fried rice, omelets, pasta, or stir-fried dishes. Sprinkle it over cooked rice, salads, soups, or even pizza. For sweets, try folding it into cookie dough or cake batter, or topping yogurt and ice cream for an unexpected crunch. It’s also ideal as a travel-ready snack—lightweight, mess-free, and shelf-stable, perfect for hiking, camping, or taking abroad. However you use it, this is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of natto with ease.
