i really liked your video! your voice is very calm and the clock in the back reminded me of my grandmas place haha
What are the buttons description on the machine? What temperature does the machine run at? I thought natto should be fermented at 40C degrees.

Hi Keiko, Congratulations on your great results! I have two questions. 1. At 2:53 you said, “If you add hot water to the natto starter, it will jump start the natto spores.” Could you tell me if you were talking about adding hot water to (1) already prepared store-bought natto, (2) natto starter mix, or (3) both? 2. I’d like to buy the type of towel you used to put over the beans, but I haven’t seen it before. Could you tell me what type of towel that is (maybe food grade #10 cheesecloth?) and where to find it? Thank you!
I don’t have most of those material…. Only natto and mustard

Using same unit, I folded a piece of small bubble wrap in 3 layers so the temperature is 98.8°, optimal reportedly is 98.6... which is rather curious 🤔 I use 67% water, 30% TVP, 1%salt and 2%sugar, much greater biofilm, slime, at least 3x more, only barely a hint of the horrible taste, virtually zero bad smell😊 Texture essentially the same as ground beef. Pressure steam 17 minutes, natural release. Ferment 36 hour setting turn off after 24 hours.

@13:20 Should add hot water in the machine, first. Without the hot water bath sourounding the metal container, it got to 120F that is too warm for natto fermentation(99 to 113°F).

Hi Keiko, I just watched Your video on the toilet seat cover and I really liked it so much. I will give it a try since my son has been spending one year at the university of Sendai and since then he is always complaining about the cold toilet seats here in Germany. I already bought a toilet seat with water to clean but the seats with a heating are so expensive here in Germany. They are hard to afford. Then I watched your cooking video on cup noodles and I am looking forward to try them tomorrow. So, thank You so much for putting all this effort in Your videos. I like them and I subscribed already. I am looking forward to see more. Is it possible for You to show more on Japanese sewing? I like the art so much and i am always wanting to learn more. Have a nice time. Greetings from northern Germany. Kirsten

Why does ammonia appear in some of the batches I produce at home?Note that I use natto moto starter
@keikobrown7774 ай бұрын
According to the natto starter instruction, natto will produce ammonia during fermentation. It is normal. You must keep natto cool to stop fermentation. You can place natto in the refrigerator overnight to stop fermentation and get rid of strong ammonia smell. When ever natto reach certain temperature natto will start fermentation again and start smelling bad so make sure you do not keep natto in warm place too long. I divide natto in small portions and keep them in the freezer until I am ready to eat. It does not take too long to get defrosted.
@Michael.Moawad4 ай бұрын
@@keikobrown777 Indeed, I do that as soon as the fermentation period is over, which is twenty-four hours. I pack the natto in sterile containers and put it in the freezer, but the problem is that the natto has already formed ammonia during its fermentation period, which is twenty-four hours, to the point that it is unbearable and not in a light way. Also, instead of throwing it away, I said to myself, “If only Did you keep it frozen for a few days so that the bad smell would go away? I actually put it on for several days and the smell is still there

Do you not add starter to the Natto in the machine?
@keikobrown7774 ай бұрын
I add starter to cooked beans. If you do not have starter, you can add some already made natto to cooked beans. You can use already made natto as natto starter...
I think it is good if you use this method to keep the cloth inside the ocntainer so water from the waterbath doesn't wick up the cloth and into your natto.

Super appreciate this video ❤🎉 My first batch with the same maker is minutes away. I wouldn't buy one until I saw this, no idea how to read instructions. Only 15w... I've been making natto with an instant pot, no idea how much power, constantly cycling on/off. I use defatted soymeal. MUCH stronger natto flavor, and @7¢/lb. As soon as I'm near a feed store that carries soybean hulls I'm going to get some and mix with the soymeal to increase nattokinase as that's obviously what the bascillus is fermenting. Really appreciate the stirring natto into water to disperse the spores, genius!😎

Yes it does, but with low or high temperature will take significantly longer to ferment natto. This is what the instruction comes with natto spores says. I have no idea how long... I normally keep the temperature around 40C/104 F.

My natto turned out great. I soaked 3 cups of organic soy beans which made 7 and 3/4 cups of natto using two of these natto makers. I bought the Cultures for Life brand that has four packages that each makes six cups for up to 24 cups of natto that can be made from it. I ended up using about 1 and a 1/3 packages of it. I used the hot soy bean liquid from the steamed soy beans which I cooked in a steam backet made for a Duo Instant pot. I soak the beans for 20 hours. I undercooked the beans, but I will evenually have a better idea how much I want them cooked. I failed many times trying to use our instant pots with a spore starter and also some more with rosemary, but I didn't know that drying the rosemary first would have helped make the bacillus subtilus stronger. However the Natto King said that rice straw, wheat straw and some other straw(I think barely is best used to make natto as bacillus subtilus is stronger in them then most other plants. My understanding is that soil has a lot of of bacillus subtilis, so I do not know. I will be trying make black bean natto very soon from the natto I just made.
@DrClockPMD6 ай бұрын
My black bean natto made from the soy bean natto I made worked out really well. I knew it was going to be a little dry, so when I out it together I was adding a lot more black bean broth, I also added 3 to 4 ounces of the other natto, but I knew I would get back what I put in. I mixed it a lot before fermenting as welk which made it starchier and thus dryer. It came out stinkier, but it tasted good and sticky.

@keikobrown7774 ай бұрын
Natto will produce ammonia during fermentation and it is natural. You must place natto in cool place like in refrigerator after natto is fermented or keep them frozen until you are ready to eat them. This will reduce the smell significantly.
