## Description

desertcart.com : New York Natto Organic - Japanese Probiotic Superfood made fresh in NYC - Certified Organic - 4 jars, 8 ounces (220 grams) per jar : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Great product EXCEPT - I have intended to try some Natto for many years. It actually does taste ok enough, despite the warnings I've heard. It's not dessert, it's earthy, a little bitter, and unusual in flavor, and yes, stringy. However, I FEEL the health effects. It improved my digestion fast, and it has other good effects also. My only issue was with the jar, which had an extra, extra wide mouth. My hands are not big enough to open it, got to call a man. Only my fingertips reach all the way across, so I can't use my whole hand. Hope for a more normal shaped jar next time.
Review: The Small Bean Natto was Great, but their Shipping Dept. Packed 1st Box Badly: 2 Broken Jars of 4! - [Note: I uploaded to this page one photo of the two jars (out of four in the package) from my first order that had been smashed during shipping; perhaps not very obvious in the photo are the hundreds of small shards of glass, which illustrate, to me, exactly how poorly the jars were packaged (in terms of surviving impacts that would tend to smash them together. I am very pleased to report that the company has since radically improved their methods of packing the jars for shipping!] The small bean organic natto itself is great (I have also bought this brand of natto locally when visiting NYC on my work-related trips, from local Manhattan shops, such as those at Essex St. Market.) However, the packing of the box that was shipped to me (just 230 miles) for my first order via UPS was a disaster. The package containing the four bottles of natto for my first order arrived here last week via UPS, and the exterior of the package looked perfect, with zero signs of any damage or abuse. However, upon opening the box, we discovered that the jars had not been packed in a way that would have protected them from damge or impact, and two of the four jars had totally shattered, with the natto inside surrounded by thousands of shards of broken glass. I suspect that their packing and shipping dept. staff must have taken lessons from Walmart.com, for every time that I have ordered food items (e.g., pesto, pasta sauces, etc.) in glass jars from Walmart.com, half of the jars have been broken upon arrival. The good news is that the two remaining jars, while they were covered with broken glass and squished natto beans, were, after a very thorough washing and rinsing, found to be in perfect shape, and they are now sitting in my refrigerator. However, the good news is that I promptly contacted the vendor about the problem, and they quickly sent me two replacement jars of the same type of small bean organic natto that I had ordered, to replace the two shattered jars, and the replacement jars arrived just fine via UPS. The company had advised me, prior to shipping the replacement bottles, that they had quite radically improved their packing methods for the jars, and, sure enough, when I opened the replacement package, I found that each jar was wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap, which is the only sane thing to do when shipping glass bottles or jars nowadays. (Now that the replacement jars have arrived, and since they were packed much more wisely, I have raised the star rating of my review up to the 5 stars that this company's products deserve!) BTW, I am a big fan of fermented foods, and I have been eating both miso (another Japanese fermented foodstuff) and natto regularly for the past 30 years or longer, and have even made my own natto at times from spore cultures available on the market. For the past couple of years, I have been eating natto daily, at least one teaspoon every morning with my breakfast, and much larger quantities at times, and I usually eat miso on a daily basis as well. When my work-related travels bring me to San Francisco, CA to meet with clients, which is once or twice per year, I always stay in Japantown, and I have frequently had the amusing experience that when I visit one of the numerous Japanese grocery stores near my hotel to stock up on natto, I will be approached by tourists (usualy older women) from Japan who are visiting SF, and they will look amazedly at the large pile of natto containers in my grocery basket, and then tell me something along the lines of "I am 100% Japanese, and still live in Japan, and I have known about natto all my life, but I cannot eat it, for I hate the odor and the slimy sticky texture!". Then they will usually add that they envy me for eating natto, because they have always heard that eating natto offers tremendous health benefits and ensures longevity! BTW, as an R&D and consulting scientist-engineer, I am considered in certain niches worlwide to be an expert on certain esoteric kinds of "elite" fermentative bacteria (no, not the Bacillus subtilis bacteria used in making natto, but rather some purple fermentative bacteria that are far more rare and exotic...) and the applications of these esoteric microbes in human and animal nutrition, agriculture, toxic waste remediation, and odor control (such as in farming, at waste landfills and in wastewater treatment plants). From this vantage point, I can tell you without hesitation that I consider "real" natto (such as this New York Natto brand (as opposed to cheap commerical natto sold in some Asian grocery stores in the US that may have been pasteurized or "deodorized"), to be one of the very few TRUE superfoods available in the world today! Speaking of superfoods: In addition to my holding a graduate degree in the sciences, I also trained in Asian acupuncture at the graduate school level for many years, and from this vantage point, as well as my earlier-mentioned vantage point of being a multidisciplinary scientist-engineer and an expert on certain types of fermented foods, I can tell you that real natto (such as this product) is one of the few superfoods that, if eaten on a daily basis, will strongly raise the levels of beneficial chi (aka prana) in the body, resulting in greater levels of health, day-to-day energy (chi), and well-being!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it ok to freeze it? does it lose the bacteria if frozen?**
A: We generally recommend against freezing natto, since this negatively affects flavor and texture. 

Freezing does reduce the total count of viable bacteria. We have seen that freezing and thawing under non-lab conditions will kill almost all the actively growing (“vegetative”) cells, although spores (protected dormant cells) remain mostly viable. 

Practically speaking, we don't have clear evidence how the lower vegetative cell count would change the probiotic effect on the gut microbiome; it’s possible that the spore form may be responsible for most probiotic activity, but this hasn’t been shown clearly. 

However, from a food safety perspective, the reduced activity of the living ferment in the jar could make it easier for other microbes to grow if they're introduced after the jar is opened, reducing shelf life.

From a broader nutritional perspective, freeze-thawing may have an adverse effect on nattokinase activity, but vitamins and minerals including Vitamin K2 should be unaffected.

All that said, our glass jars are quite sturdy and can be frozen directly. So if you were mainly interested in bacterial spores and/or Vitamin K2, are ok with the altered flavor and texture, and plan to finish the jar quickly, it could be fine!

**Q: What’s the sodium content?**
A: There is absolutely no salt added to any of our nattos, so only negligible amounts of natural sodium from the soybeans.

**Q: how long can the unopened jar say fresh in refrigerator?**
A: Think about 2 months is as long as we allowed it to be opened and used up. Not sure if that is what is recommended though.

**Q: what is natto good for?  I am worried It can effect thyroid but my macrobiotic counselor says its good for thyroid any thoughts?**
A: Natto is fermented so should be fine for thyroid (it’s non-fermented soy that could be a problem), but ask someone you trust, like a naturopath, not strangers. Why don’t you trust your macrobiotic counselor? I would.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best taste. Never frozen.
*by B***K on January 28, 2026*

I have purchased this a few times and I like it a lot. Or maybe, I like it as much as you can like natto. The taste is pretty mild and I like knowing it has a lot of the health benefits as it’s never been frozen. And I liked that you can also get organic. If you want something less potent, the black soy beans are probably more mild and taste.
