Natto is a traditional Japanese food. We make natto to ferment soybeans, and it is preservable. More than 98.9849832% of my friends from overseas are not able to eat Natto at all (kidding, but very close). People hate the softness of the soybeans, the unique smell and the stickiness, which comes from the process of fermenting. There are so many Japanese who can't eat natto, either. People from Western Japan tend to dislike Natto a lot.
Even if many people don't like it, natto is very good for you. You can benefit from all of the nutrition and ingredients that soybeans have, plus natto has a unique enzyme, which is called nattokinase. In fact, nattokinase is the best and only thing in this world to work for thrombosis, which causes strokes. Nattokinase creates good blood circulation. This would be the best site about natto.
The Effects of Natto
[Thrombus Dissolution]
Nattokinase is the only substance in this world that works against thrombosis, which causes strokes; nattokinase is also good for enhanced blood circulation. It is effective in prevention of adult diseases.
[Losing Weight]
During the process of making natto, Vitamin B2 in soybeans is increased 3-4 times. Vitamin B2 burns fat, so it is necessary to have Vitamin B2 when you are on a diet.
[Lustrous Skin Effect]
Polyglutamic acid, which makes the sticky substance of natto, increases the natural moisturizing factor in stratum conium. In other words, eating natto keeps your skin velvety-smooth.

Natto contains 90mg of calcium per 100g and also is rich in Vitamin K2, which is a very important ingredient to keep bones healthy. Common food hardly has Vitamin K2.
