Natto has been on the rise for the last few years, and we are so excited to be working with a hyper-local brand that makes delicious natto in Arlington, MA! We met "Aya’s Culture Kitchen” at some of our local farmer’s markets!

Come in on Saturday, July 20th from 3pm-5pm and try a traditional Japanese powerhouse of a food called natto, made from fermented soy beans!

What is Natto you may be wondering? We found this article that explains.

“Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. It has a distinct smell and texture and has been described as having a nutty flavor. Natto is stringy, sticky, and one of the few processed foods where the whole soybean retains its shape and mouthfeel. In addition to its unique texture and taste, natto has an exceptional nutritional profile and is regarded as a superfood.

While this might be the first time you learn of natto, the dish is not new. Natto was popularized during Japan’s Edo Period, from 1603 to 1868.

Typically served at room temperature, natto is an everyday breakfast option in Japan, where it’s commonly included in hotel breakfast buffets. Japanese citizens and tourists alike can thank U.S. Soy for this delicious and nutritious breakfast, as U.S. Soy supplies approximately 70% of the soybeans used as raw materials in Japan’s natto industry.”
