Along with natto, which I could not eat, pickled veggies, umiboshi plums, etc are in the good for you category. Friend bought me the Japanese version of pickled veggies, quite a bit tastier than Korean Kim Chee. So tasty, in fact, I was sure it could not be good for me. Kim Chee is supposed to taste awful, isn’t it? Doesn’t the horrid taste make you better right away, just to avoid eating any more of it? Do enjoy Japanese food in a good restaurant, ate it often in San Francisco.
For probiotics, I rely on goat kefir, which I LOVE. Best natural source of probiotics and Vitamin K2, according to online guru Dr. Axe, which you really need to take with D3.
Just ordered nattokinase in capsules from AMZ
Only one judge, said "I actually like natto..." (subtitled).
I just did a bit of research and found that it could be dangerous to supplement with nattokinase if you’re already taking a blood thinner.
Maybe if it were mixed with caramel and bacon...
Is natto the same product as stinky bean curds?
It apparently cleared up a severe calcification problem and I have diagnostic tests as evidence, though the doctors don’t believe it.
Had some yesterday on my rice with dinner . Sometimes I put it on toast .
I thought soybeans were supposed to be bad for you.
There’s a natto restaurant in Honolulu, near Ala Moana Center. The place smells like old dirty tennis shoes.
1. Soba noodles - made of buckwheat

That can’t be true. Soba noodles (yaki soba!) tastes good. Stuff that tastes good can’t be good for you.
Dang it. Now I’m craving an okonomiyaki. An okonomiyaki with Mongolian beef... or Spam. Either one would work.
Dear Lord, no! Natto is Japan’s revenge upon the world. Anyone who would eat that stuff would eat...raw fish or something...
Same with me. I had leg pain from peripherial artery disease for years and shoulder pain due to calcification.
K2 has resolved these problems.
Tried natto in Tokyo from a Chinese street vendor. Once is enough. Don’t know if I want to live forever.
I love Natto! gonna go get myself some more of it!
K2 is available in two forms:
MK4 [Menaquinone-4] and MK7 [Menaquinone-7].
MK-4 can be made to some extent in the body; MK-7 cannot. MK-7 is much more stable and effective than MK-4.
MK-7 is especially rich in Natto, fermented legumes (e.g., soy, chickpea/garbanzo).
Natto is also rich in Nattokinase, a powerful fibrinolytic (fibrin-digesting) enzyme.
The combination promotes beneficial calcium metabolism and cardiovascular functioning.
A supplement of K2 will typically not also contain Nattokinase, and vice versa.
A K2/MK-4 supplement will usually be labelled “K2”; a supplement of K2/MK-7 will usually be labelled “MK-7”. Read the “Supplement Facts” box on the back - regulated by the 1994 DSHEA - for exact and correct description of contents.
It is not a fad in Japan; it is a long-standing part of the reason for their overall superior health.
Asians have known for centuries (if not millennia) that legumes, especially soy, are difficult to digest.
Compared to faddish American vegetarians/vegans, they actually consume less soy, and consume more of it in the highly fermented (pre-digested) forms.
Natto is highly fermented. It also can be made from other legumes, such as chickpeas (although what you would find in a Japanese market would probably be from soy).
