Natto, fermented soybeans, was chosen to be the healthiest food by 300 doctors in Japan in January 2019.
It has so many health benefits, such as containing a high amount of an autophagy-activating polyamine called spermidine, vitamin K2 which makes borns stronger, Nattokinaze which helps your blood flow, and Natto Kin, Natto germ that supports your gut microbiota.
However, sometimes, it is difficult to get hold of natto, especially organic ones. In that case, you can make your own natto.
There are videos showing how to make natto from other natto, but natto kin (Bacillus subtillis) contained in regular natto is commercially produced. It is better to use your local natto kin, and you can get one from a local wild plant.
In this video, I am discussing why I think it is better to make natto from a wild plant.

Sachiaki Takamiya is a writer and the creator of Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He has authored a range of books, with one of his better-known works being the spiritual adventure novel, Ten-jo-no-Symphony, published in Japanese by Kodansha in 2006. His contributions in English include The Ikigai Diet, and Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
He embraces a sustainable lifestyle in a serene town in Shiga Prefecture, growing his own vegetables and crafting fermented foods. In 2018, he innovatively translated this lifestyle into a diet, thus birthing the Ikigai Diet. In 2022, he further enriched this diet, transforming it into a holistic health approach called Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
Homemade natto has been a staple of his diet for nearly a decade, holding a central role in the Ikigai Diet. Embracing this passion for natto, he donned the moniker ‘Natto King’ in 2022 and began disseminating natto-related insights via his YouTube channel, the Ikigai Diet.
His health-focused lifestyle has certainly paid dividends. Despite being in his early 60s, he consistently receives clean bills of health.
