About Natto Soup

Natto Soup (納豆汁, Natto-jiru) is a hearty and nutritious wintertime staple that has been loved in Yamagata Prefecture for generations.

The natto, fermented soybeans, is mashed to enhance its flavor, creating a rich and creamy base. Packed with plenty of vegetables, this dish is bursting with robust, wholesome taste. In the Murayama region, it’s often enjoyed during the Nanakusa festival; in the Mogami region, it’s a New Year’s delicacy; and in the Shonai region, it’s savored during the traditional Daikoku-sama celebration.
