The secret to its deliciousness lies in the harmony of meticulously chosen ingredients.

• Rare soybeans and famous water: Luxuriously using high-quality local soybeans nurtured by Aizu's fertile land. The beans, steamed slowly with the clear underground water polished by Mount Bandai, become fluffy and soft to the core, releasing the inherent sweetness of the soybeans with each bite.
• Craftsman's handwork 'Kyogi': A traditional style of fermentation wrapped in 'Kyogi', which is rare in modern times. The aroma of the wood transfers, and the natto, with adjusted moisture, boasts a clear fragrance without any off-flavors, along with a rich depth that deepens with each string.

■ The ultimate 'feast' that colors your travel mornings

This natto is the star that colors the memories of your journey in Aizu, transcending mere ingredients.

• With freshly cooked Aizu rice: When placed on shiny Koshihikari rice from Aizu, the golden beans and pearl-like rice resonate together, bringing forth a blissful morning. A few drops of local soy sauce enhance the rich stickiness and flavor, creating a moment that truly nourishes both body and soul.

From a preserved food to survive the harsh winter to a gourmet dish that conveys the pride of the land. Experience the passion of the craftsman embedded in each grain while imagining the majestic silhouette of Mount Bandai. Would you like to welcome such luxurious 'Aizu daily life' to your table?
