Bandai Golden Natto

【The golden earth, the flavor contained in a single grain】 'Bandai Golden Natto' connects the culinary soul of Aizu

At the foot of the symbol of Aizu, Mount Bandai, there is natto that shines golden as its name suggests. The 'Bandai Golden Natto' from Inawashiro Town is a culinary treasure that symbolizes Aizu's 'sincerity', steadfastly preserving traditional methods and local blessings without being swept away by mass production. A single bite unleashes a powerful yet gentle vitality of soybeans that overturns the conventional concept of natto.

■ Selected 'blessings of Aizu' crystallized

The secret of 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, slowly steamed with the pure subterranean water polished by Mount Bandai, become fluffy and soft to the core, releasing the natural sweetness of soybeans with every 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, carries a clear fragrance without any off-flavors and 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 the glossy Koshihikari rice from Aizu, the golden beans and pearl-like rice resonate, 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. Taste the passion of the craftsman embedded in each grain while imagining the majestic figure of Mount Bandai. Would you like to welcome such a luxurious 'Aizu daily life' to your table?
