YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Freeze-Dried Natto Fermented Soybeans 2.4 oz — Shelf-Stable Probiotic, Vegan

Freeze-dried natto from YAMASAN KYOTO UJI is a shelf-stable, probiotic-rich version of Japan’s traditional fermented soybeans that rehydrates quickly and can be eaten straight from the pack or added to meals.

Originating from Uji, Kyoto, this 2.4 oz pack delivers authentic natto flavor and texture using a freeze-drying process that preserves live Bacillus cultures, enzymes, vitamin K, fiber, and plant-based protein without additives. It offers a convenient way to enjoy the umami, sticky character of natto while keeping the product light, portable, and long-lasting—ideal for those exploring fermented foods or seeking nutrient-dense pantry staples.

How does freeze-dried natto compare to fresh natto?

Freeze-drying removes moisture while maintaining the native beneficial bacteria and nutrient profile, so you get many of the same probiotic and enzymatic benefits as fresh natto without refrigeration. The texture changes after rehydration but remains pleasantly sticky and flavorful when prepared correctly.

• Preserves live Bacillus natto cultures better than heat-dried alternatives
• Long shelf life without refrigeration for pantry storage
• Rehydrates in minutes to regain a familiar natto consistency
• Lower risk of spoilage or off-odors during storage

What’s the easiest way to prepare and enjoy this product?

Preparation is quick: add a small amount of warm water, stir thoroughly, and let it sit briefly to regain its sticky texture. You can also skip rehydration for a crunchy, savory snack or mix the included probiotic powder into the rehydrated beans for a flavor boost.

• Rehydrate: pour warm water, stir, and rest 1–3 minutes
• Season: soy sauce, sesame oil, mustard, or the included powder
• Serve: atop warm rice, in salads, smoothies, soups, or as a snack
• On-the-go: eat dry for a fast, savory, plant-protein bite

What nutritional and ingredient details should buyers know?

How can I incorporate natto into everyday meals?

• Stir into warm rice bowls with scallions and soy sauce
• Blend into savory smoothies or mix into noodle soups
