Thank you for the video, I get consistently excellent results with it! Somewhere in the the comments there is a question re using homemade natto as a starter for the next batch and a reply that discourages it. I posed this question to Mr. Sachiaki Takamiya from www.youtube.com/@theikigaidiet3790 The Ikigai Diet channel, he knows a lot about natto. He said that if your homemade natto is sticky and successful, you can use it as a starter. He even made a video about it th-cam.com/video/COF8ehmpYNI/w-d-xo.html I have now used my own natto as a starter 3 times, and each time my new natto came out amazing. After the 24 hrs. in the fridge I put 50 g of my new batch in a separate container and freeze it along with the natto I can't finish in one week. I transfer it back from the freezer to the fridge a day or two before making the next batch of natto. I hope this is useful information.
The important step is to freeze a portion of homemade natto before using it as a starter. The process of freezing natto forces the bacteria to form spores and the spores are more successful in fermenting the next batch of natto as compared to live culture of natto stored in the fridge.

Hello, if you have an IP with no yogurt function, is it the same as keeping warm? Or possibly sous vide? At what temp should it be to emulate yogurt mode? I've tried searching and there seems to be methods to make yogurt with no yogurt function but I'm struggling to determine exactly what yogurt mode does as far as temperature
Arigato gozaimasu! I love natto and now have a deciding reason to buy an Instant Pot over a simple pressure cooker. The reason is to have a lower temperature setting for making natto in addition to yogurt. I am thrilled and can hardly wait to make my own! No more buying stacks & stacks of natto in little plastic containers. You have changed my kitchen routine for the better! Arigato gozaimashita!
Thank you so much. Your video has been the easiest and yet more comprehensive of all the videos out there, even covering how to store it for fridge and freezer. Thank you and great job!
@@easyjapanesecooking The thick threads and sticky ingredient of natto disappears a day after they're done and I put them in the fridge. The fermentation isn't working too well either, could you please help me? Thanks viviane
Followed your instructions exactly, after 22 hours fermentation my beans stink of ammonia. Update: tried again using 1/2 the beans and a vessel (strainer) that has holes, so not suffocating. Worked!!
You may also want to check that you took your seal out of your instant pot and left the knob on top to "Venting" instead of "Sealing" for air flow. Also make sure the yogurt temp is set to Medium. Mine accidentally was set to low and it didn't get warm enough. 🙂
I watched a dozen or more TH-cam videos on how to make natto, and yours came out the most beautiful of all of them. Your natto looks like the perfect, ideal natto - natto heaven!! Please tell me - is there some water at the bottom of the pot during the 24-hour fermentation to help keep it so moist? Arigatoo gozaimashita!
Thanks for your comment and compliment! No, there is no water at the bottom of the pot during fermentation. I'm glad if this video could be of help!! Arigato--!
Great recipe! Now I make Natto myself every 2 weeks using this recipe. Sometime Natto slimes very strong and it is hard to wash. When it happens, I sprinkle baking soda that reduces slime. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I cannot wait to make a batch of natto for myself. One suggestion for improvement though, the napkin (ケッチンペーパー）is not sterilized, which can be replaced by a sterilized cheese cloth.
Yes. thank you for this video. It never occurred to me that pre-made natto could be used to start a new batch of home-made natto. Your natto looks amazing and delicious. :) おいしいそうですよ
I just made a batch of natto, and this time I followed your instructions exactly. And it came out perfectly - by far the best natto I ever made!!! Perfectly moist, and sticky, and gooey. Neba-neba heaven!! I noticed that you cook the soybeans much longer than everyone else. Do you think that contributes to the success of your recipe?
I’m happy to hear that you were successful! I found a lot of recipes cook for 45 min too, but I personally prefer softer natto therefore I decided to cook a little longer and it turned out perfectly for my taste. I checked few recipes and also asked my friends, and combined all the tips to arrange for myself. I’m not sure exactly, but perhaps the cooking time, adding the broth, and removing the sealing ring (by allowing a little air to enter in the pot, fermentation would proceed better) might have helped as well!
The best video showing how to make natto using Instant Pot. One question: When using Yogurt function, good to know you need to take the seal out. How about the vent? Do you use sealing or venting for the 24-hour yogurt fermenting process? Thanks.
Hi! Thanks for your comment! I'm not sure if I use venting or not, but I believe I've never touched the vent part...😅 Sorry it's not a clear answer. I'll pay attention to it next time I make 🙏
Does that white tupperware where you ferment soybeans come with the pot? Or what is that accessory called? thank you very much the video is very good 👌
It didn't come with the pot. I can't remember where I got it, but it was over 15 years old. Actually, I broke the one I used in the video, and I've been struggling to find something similar with a lid🥲 It was just perfect size for my instant pot. I've seen people using regular plastic containers as the pot temperature is only about 42 degrees(celsius) during the fermentation.
@@easyjapanesecooking If you are using the 6QT Instapot then I suggest you buy an inner pot made for the 3Qt Instapot it fits like your white one in video but is stainless, they also have a silcone top for them as well - Domo Arrigato. Aki-san
ビデオありがとうございます。納豆にプラスチック製のボウルの代わりに金属製のボウルを使用することはできますか？私はプラスチックの代わりに金属を使うのが好きです。 Bideo arigatōgozaimasu. Nattō ni purasuchikku-sei no bōru no kawarini kinzoku-sei no bōru o shiyō suru koto wa dekimasu ka? Watashi wa purasuchikku no kawarini kinzoku o tsukau no ga sukidesu.
Thank you for taking your time to show us how to do this. But it rose some questions. I got a 10 in one Insta Pot to do this, but I noticed there was a strainer basket accessory that is also available. In cutting down on even the possibility of contaminates, couldn't the strainer basket be used while cooking so that it can be lifted out of the cooker after cooking and on to a Pyrex platter in the cooled down oven previously used to sterilize the Pyrex platter? Then all I have to do is drain off excess liquid in the cooker pot and when things cool to a safe temp for the inoculator, then just pour the beans back into the cooker for the yogurt fermentation and add the inoculator and stir with my clean spoon? I don't see why this method wouldn't be the very best way to cut down on ANY contaminate possibly getting into the oink mint. What do you think? Also, I may be missing it, but I don't hear of a cooling period before the inoculation. I know when I was making yogurt, the cool down time for the milk was mandatory, or you would kill the culture you're using for the inoculation. Is this somehow different?
I recommend to use store boght natto every time for better result. I've never tried with my home made natto as starter, but I heard from someone it won't work as good.
It sometimes take few months for me to finish a batch as I'm the only one to eat natto in my house 😅 I could eat it even after 6 months.. I think I trust my freezer too much😆 Well, I would say 3-4 months to be safe!
@@easyjapanesecooking YES! it is absolutely brilliant - I am ecstatic. And very sticky too. It's in the fridge till tomorrow and we'll have it with steamed rice plus ginger, spring onion, soy and oil dressing. I left the vent open while fermenting. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions! I’m not sure what size Instant Pot you used, but it looks bigger than mine… My Instant Pot is only 3-qt. Would it overflow if I cooked the same amount? Do you think I should try only the half amount (200g soy beans)?
Thank you very much for making this video. What if your instant pot does not have a yogurt function? Can you use the "keep warm" function? Also are you manually setting the temperature for the 24 hours to a certain level?
I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know, the yogurt function keeps the temperature around 43 ℃. I believe "keep warm" is higher than that. As yogurt function automatically sets temperature, I only set time. I hope it helps :)
You can try a cool oven, air fryer, dehydrator, or even a bread machine. It must stay around 40 degrees so any appliance that can do that temperature will work as well.
@@darikuri unfortunately my oven doesn't work anymore. I have an idea that according to other videos works well. I will use the "keep warm" function on my 8 qt IP but keep the lid off, covering only with cheese cloth
Thanks for the video. I plan on making this soon but I have a couple of questions. When you place the bowl in the instant pot covered with paper towels for fermentation, are you placing it into the same pot you pressure cooked the beans in? if so, did you wash it, or leave it unwashed? Also, Can you use your own frozen natto as starter in future batches? And do you keep the vent open or closed when fermenting.
Hi! Thank you for your questions. Yes I use the same inner pot after washing and drying it. My instant pot closes the vent automatically with yogurt setting, but I believe it's better to get a tiny bit of air for better fermenting result so that the vent can be open. Finally, I wouldn't use my home made natto as starter. I hope your natto will turn out sticky and tasty ;)
@@easyjapanesecookingThank you!!! Recently there is a natto shortage right now at the market where I live. My soybeans arrived today and am planning to try making it with my daughter this week. One question: you don't recommend using the home made natto as a starter - what happens if you use it?
@@BH-gb1gy I've never tried my own home made natto as a starter yet, but I read or heard some people tried it and the results were less sticky or didn't turn out good. However, someone commented here that she uses some dead leaves as a starter and I also found this article herbs can be used as well. Interesting! (cookpad.com/uk/recipes/12476278-natto-fermented-soybeans-with-herbs). I thought you might find it interesting too :)
@@easyjapanesecooking My first natto came out very good. I used におわ納豆 as a starter and the smell was milder.. Thank you for the suggestion on using herbs. I also found one that uses celery leaves th-cam.com/video/sP5bQyQDB30/w-d-xo.html. On the next batch I will experiment with different starter batches. Thank you for the great video.

Sorry for the late response. That's only because I don't have to wash the stubborn stcikiness in the big inner pot, and I can store this bowl with the lid straight into the frige. I can even throw it in the dishwasher afterwards! And I'm wondering now if I put beans directly in the inner pot, can I still cover with paper towel or a dish cloth to avoid water to get in... Let me know if you tried it! Thanks.
Thank you for your comment! Yes, I use a plastic bowl when fermenting beans. During the fermentation (by using yogurt setting), the temperature only rises to about 110 ° F (43 ° C). And yes, it still has the same stickiness after thawing!
インスタントポットを買いました！ヨーグルトモードを選ぶと、温度をlow medium highを選ぶようになっていますが、Akiさんの動画ではnormalとなっているようなので、mediumということで良いでしょうか？ 私の買ったインスタントポットはヨーグルトモードを押すとまずhighに設定されています。
Thank you! Yes, I use a plastic bowl. During fermentation, the temperature only rises to about 43℃. (But don't use a plastic bowl when you cook beans with high pressure at the beginning!)
I usually leave it for about 5+ min before mixing with natto starter, just while washing and drying the inner pot. They are still warm, but not super hot. Hope you'll succeed!
Hello thank you for this! I would want to try this out but I am just curious if did you put the instant pot trivet under the bowl when you set it up for yogurt?
Thank you for your question! I directly place the bowl into the inner pot. Just for your reference, the temperature only rises to about 110 ° F (43 ° C) with the yogurt setting.
Thank you for the video! Do you need to wait the soybeans to cool down before adding the starter natto? would high temperature kill the live natto culture?
Thank you for your question. I've never waited or checked the temperature of the cooked beans before adding starter Natto. However, soy beans should cool down a bit while washing and drying the inner pot (it takes about 2-3 minutes for me ;) If you find it still very hot, it's probably a good idea to wait a few minutes for it to cool down a bit, just to be safe.

I would recommend using store bought natto as a starter for better results. I looked it up and found that someone used her homemade natto as a starter, and it didn't turn out as good.
So if I make it again, can I use my own Natto instead of the store bought one? Or do I always have to use the store bought one as starter? Thank you!~ 🙏🏻☺️

@@wakana857 ヨーグルト機能は 温度を110 ° F (43 ° C)くらいに保つようです。別の方のコメントでsous vide モードで成功したと書かれていましたが、私は試した事ないです。インスタントポットを買う以前に、クーラーボックスの中で発酵させた事がありますが、温度を保つ為にお湯を入れたペットボトルを何度も交換したり、部屋もクーラーボックスも臭くなって大変でした💦オーブンを低温にして発酵させる人もいるようです。
My instant pot yogurt setting doesn't work for natto. But new instant pot with sous vide setting works perfectly! I'm curious why you didn't sterilise the strainer... I've had many batches fail without everything carefully sterilised.
I should have sterilised my strainer. Thanks for pointing it out. I wash my strainer in the dishwasher, so it was technically sterilised I guess, but I should've done it again..😅 I'm wondering why your pot didn't work with yogurt setting...
@@easyjapanesecooking Oh, I think my specific unit yogurt-setting is damaged. It also doesn't slow cook properly. That's why we got a new one that has sous-vide setting.
@@corriedossenbach3344 my instant pot dont have yogurt setting to 😅 but have sous-vide option, do you put some water to use this option ? Or water is not needed?
@@kamils2 Water not needed. After my beans are steamed at pressure, I drain them then I dump them back into the pot and set it to sous-vide (I use 108'F for 24hrs). Comes out perfectly. I don't even put any plastic wrap on top, although everyone else I've seen does.
I've never checked the temperature, but I leave it for about 5 minutes and stir the beans few times to cool it down a bit before mixing it with the starter.
I prefer to ferment it in a smaller container so that I can directly store it in the fridge. Also, I can use dishwasher to wash it instead of washing the big sticky pot by hand. I guess I just like to make things easier or am lazy😄
If I pressure cook with the beans in the water, they disintegrate. If I pressure cook with the beans in the steaming basket, they end up too hard and dry.

I got a 10 in one Insta Pot to do this, but I noticed there was a strainer basket accessory that is also available. In cutting down on even the possibility of contaminates, couldn't the strainer basket be used while cooking so that it can be lifted out of the cooker after cooking and on to a Pyrex platter in the cooled down oven previously used to sterilize the Pyrex platter? Then all I have to do is drain off excess liquid in the cooker pot and when things cool to a safe temp for the inoculator, then just pour the beans back into the cooker for the yogurt fermentation and add the inoculator and stir with my clean spoon? I don't see why this method wouldn't be the very best way to cut down on ANY contaminate possibly getting into the oink mint. What do you think?
Also, I may be missing it, but I don't hear of a cooling period before the inoculation. I know when I was making yogurt, the cool down time for the milk was mandatory, or you would kill the culture you're using for the inoculation. Is this somehow different?
that is my favorite brand of frozen natto and i have always succeeded with it
although i usually ferment for 32-34 hours
"Kurozu Natto" is my favorite too! Does it taste better to ferment longer? stickier?? very curious!
@frankchen4229 Do you always get your natto so slimy?
@@MrSojek yes. you can pick up the entire bowl's amount with just one lift
@@easyjapanesecooking the network EXTREMELY strong. you can pick up the entire bowl of natto with just a spoon
@@frankchen4229 Thanks, do you make new natto from the leftovers of the previous batch or you buy a new starter?
Thank you for the detailed guide. I will try this today.
Status Update: This came out Beautiful! I thank you so much for your recipe
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you succeeded! Enjoy your Natto heaven ;)
Thank you! Would you recommend starting with store bought natto every time, or can you start your new natto with natto you made last time?
I recommend to use store boght natto every time for better result. I've never tried with my home made natto as starter, but I heard from someone it won't work as good.
すごいわかり易いインスタントポットでの納豆の作り方ありがとうございます！！
ボールをinner potの中に入れてましたが、ボールではなく直接inner potでもできるでしょうか？？
ボールを使う場合はちょうどいいボールを見つけなければいけないですね。
コメントありがとうございます！発酵の段階では、直接にinner potに入れた事はありませんが、可能だとは思います。色々な方の作り方を見て参考にしたのですが、普通のタッパーを使ってる方もいました。ヨーグルトモードは４３度くらいなので、どんな容器でも基本大丈夫かと思います。
@@easyjapanesecooking ご返答ありがとうございます😊
なるほど！私もいろいろ試行錯誤しながらやってみたいと思います！
Once made how long it can be stored in a freezer so that it remains safe for consumption??
It sometimes take few months for me to finish a batch as I'm the only one to eat natto in my house 😅 I could eat it even after 6 months.. I think I trust my freezer too much😆 Well, I would say 3-4 months to be safe!
発酵させる時に使っているボールはプラスチックのものでしょうか？
プラスチックのものでも使えるんですね
発酵時の温度は４３度程なのでプラスチックの物を使っています！
Hi Aki - I am going to make natto using your vid. Can you confirm: do you have the vent on seal or open please? Thanks!
Hi! During the fermentation process, the vent can be open. I hope your natto will turn out nice and sticky!
@@easyjapanesecooking YES! it is absolutely brilliant - I am ecstatic. And very sticky too. It's in the fridge till tomorrow and we'll have it with steamed rice plus ginger, spring onion, soy and oil dressing. I left the vent open while fermenting. Thanks so much!
@@heidifromoz215I'm so happy to hear that!! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions! I’m not sure what size Instant Pot you used, but it looks bigger than mine… My Instant Pot is only 3-qt. Would it overflow if I cooked the same amount? Do you think I should try only the half amount (200g soy beans)?
是非参考にさせていただきたいです！
同じインスタントポットを購入したいのですが、三リットルのもので間に合うでしょうか？
私のは6qtなので6.8Lになるようです。3Lでも大豆の分量を減らしたら大丈夫かと思います！
インスタントポットすごいですねー大豆を茹でて蒸すまで1台で全て行えるのですねもしよろしかったらその製品名を教えていただけますか私はハワイに住んでますのでその製品は購入できるでしょうかでもすごく納豆が素晴らしく完成してますねおめでとうございます
インスタントポットとても便利です！私はカナダのコスコで買いました。“Instant pot”がメーカー名のようです。そこのメーカーのDuo Gourmetシリーズのサイズは6qt.です。他のメーカーの物でも、圧力機能とヨーグルト機能があれば問題ないかと思います。これからとても寒くなるカナダですので、ハワイにお住まいとの事羨ましいです☺
Thank you very much for making this video.
What if your instant pot does not have a yogurt function? Can you use the "keep warm" function? Also are you manually setting the temperature for the 24 hours to a certain level?
I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know, the yogurt function keeps the temperature around 43 ℃. I believe "keep warm" is higher than that. As yogurt function automatically sets temperature, I only set time. I hope it helps :)
You can try a cool oven, air fryer, dehydrator, or even a bread machine. It must stay around 40 degrees so any appliance that can do that temperature will work as well.
@@darikuri unfortunately my oven doesn't work anymore. I have an idea that according to other videos works well. I will use the "keep warm" function on my 8 qt IP but keep the lid off, covering only with cheese cloth
Thanks for the video. I plan on making this soon but I have a couple of questions. When you place the bowl in the instant pot covered with paper towels for fermentation, are you placing it into the same pot you pressure cooked the beans in? if so, did you wash it, or leave it unwashed? Also, Can you use your own frozen natto as starter in future batches? And do you keep the vent open or closed when fermenting.
Hi! Thank you for your questions. Yes I use the same inner pot after washing and drying it. My instant pot closes the vent automatically with yogurt setting, but I believe it's better to get a tiny bit of air for better fermenting result so that the vent can be open. Finally, I wouldn't use my home made natto as starter. I hope your natto will turn out sticky and tasty ;)
@@easyjapanesecookingThank you!!! Recently there is a natto shortage right now at the market where I live. My soybeans arrived today and am planning to try making it with my daughter this week. One question: you don't recommend using the home made natto as a starter - what happens if you use it?
@@BH-gb1gy I've never tried my own home made natto as a starter yet, but I read or heard some people tried it and the results were less sticky or didn't turn out good. However, someone commented here that she uses some dead leaves as a starter and I also found this article herbs can be used as well. Interesting! (cookpad.com/uk/recipes/12476278-natto-fermented-soybeans-with-herbs). I thought you might find it interesting too :)
@@easyjapanesecooking My first natto came out very good. I used におわ納豆 as a starter and the smell was milder.. Thank you for the suggestion on using herbs. I also found one that uses celery leaves th-cam.com/video/sP5bQyQDB30/w-d-xo.html. On the next batch I will experiment with different starter batches. Thank you for the great video.
Should I add water in the pot before the yogurt step, or dry pot?
No water! Just put a bowl/container directly in the inner pot :)
Cam on Ban da chia se cach lam Natto cua Ban, qua hoan hao tu cach che bien den cach bao quan Natto cua Ban . Mot lan nua toi cam on Ban da cho Toi cach lam Natto , chac chan toi se lam !
Hello,
I'm wondering why you ferment the beans in a separate bowl and not in the instant pot metal inner pot?
Thanks
Sorry for the late response. That's only because I don't have to wash the stubborn stcikiness in the big inner pot, and I can store this bowl with the lid straight into the frige. I can even throw it in the dishwasher afterwards! And I'm wondering now if I put beans directly in the inner pot, can I still cover with paper towel or a dish cloth to avoid water to get in... Let me know if you tried it! Thanks.
Thanks for your video. Is it a plastic bowl you used in the pot? Also, is it still sticky when you defrost the natto?
Thank you for your comment! Yes, I use a plastic bowl when fermenting beans. During the fermentation (by using yogurt setting), the temperature only rises to about 110 ° F (43 ° C). And yes, it still has the same stickiness after thawing!
Is there water in the pot? Or dry? And is your container elevated from the bottom or directly laid down at the bottom?
No water when fermenting. I directly lay down the container into the pot. It's only around 43 ℃, so no problem.
インスタントポットを買いました！ヨーグルトモードを選ぶと、温度をlow medium highを選ぶようになっていますが、Akiさんの動画ではnormalとなっているようなので、mediumということで良いでしょうか？
私の買ったインスタントポットはヨーグルトモードを押すとまずhighに設定されています。
返信が遅くなりすみません。私のインスタントポットのヨーグルトモードは４３度くらいに保つようです。low medium highの温度設定がマニュアルで確認できると良いですね。
今日初めて、納豆作りに挑戦しています。ハイプレッシャーで、大豆茹でた後に、10分置いた後、Ventしたら、大量の水が吐き出してしまいました。(水の量が多かったのかな)あと、大豆の皮がたくさん出てきたんですけども皮の処理はどうされていますか?
自然に圧が抜けるまで待っています。抜け切るまでに３０分強かかるのですが・・・。それだと皮が出てきた事がありません。圧力設定する時に保温機能はオフにしておいた方が良いかもしれません。
今発酵中でしょうか。おいしく出来上がる事を祈っています✨
ご返信、ありがとうございます！
Great video! What type of bowl did you use? Plastic?
Thank you! Yes, I use a plastic bowl. During fermentation, the temperature only rises to about 43℃. (But don't use a plastic bowl when you cook beans with high pressure at the beginning!)
Unable to find frozen natto in my region. Can you advise how to use natto starter grains and how much for your recipe?
Hi. I've never made natto with starter grains(powder?), but found a site that might be helpful for you. I hope it helps.
www.wikihow.com/Make-Natto
Are they soy beans warm/cold before mixing with natto starter?
I usually leave it for about 5+ min before mixing with natto starter, just while washing and drying the inner pot. They are still warm, but not super hot. Hope you'll succeed!
Hello thank you for this! I would want to try this out but I am just curious if did you put the instant pot trivet under the bowl when you set it up for yogurt?
Thank you for your question! I directly place the bowl into the inner pot. Just for your reference, the temperature only rises to about 110 ° F (43 ° C) with the yogurt setting.
@@easyjapanesecooking i see so it's safe to use the bowls even without water in the pot. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! Do you need to wait the soybeans to cool down before adding the starter natto? would high temperature kill the live natto culture?
Thank you for your question. I've never waited or checked the temperature of the cooked beans before adding starter Natto. However, soy beans should cool down a bit while washing and drying the inner pot (it takes about 2-3 minutes for me ;) If you find it still very hot, it's probably a good idea to wait a few minutes for it to cool down a bit, just to be safe.
発酵時に直接インスタポットの釜を使わずにボウルを使うのはなぜですか？匂いがつくから？ザルを使っている人もいるみたいですが・・・
発酵が終わったら、ボウルに蓋をしてそのまま冷蔵庫に入れられるので便利だからです。このボウルのサイズだと食洗器にも入りますし、とにかくラクをしたいが為ですね😅
Should I wait for the Beas cool down a little bit to 40c then add Natto？Thank you for your information.

I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know, the yogurt function keeps the temperature around 43 ℃. I believe "keep warm" might be higher than that.
I used the matti starter powder and I followed the same structure but it doesn’t work???
By the way，can I frozen the home made natto for next time use.Thank you so much.👍
I would recommend using store bought natto as a starter for better results. I looked it up and found that someone used her homemade natto as a starter, and it didn't turn out as good.
@@easyjapanesecooking ok，Thank you for your information ，really helps a lot 😍
After trying it, only the beans are silky on the surface. Is it because too much water was added?
Silky? Not sure... sorry can't help
So if I make it again, can I use my own Natto instead of the store bought one? Or do I always have to use the store bought one as starter? Thank you!~ 🙏🏻☺️
For better results, I would recommend using natto from the store as a starter. I looked it up and found that someone used her homemade natto as the starter, and it didn't turn out as good.

うおおお 俺も買おうそれ（カナダ）
是非是非！！色々な機能がついていて便利ですよー！
6:48 packing for freezer
冷蔵庫で保存だとどれくらいもちますか？？
お返事が遅くなりすみません。4～5日は冷蔵庫で問題ないかと思います。冷凍しても全く風味が落ちませんよ！
@@easyjapanesecooking ありがとうございます！
とっても参考になりました！
水切りザルは熱湯消毒しなくてもいいのでしょうか?
ザルも熱湯消毒した方が良いですね💦 ありがとうございました！
是非納豆作り始めたいです。娘がinstant potをもっているのですが納豆を作るって言ったら貸してくれるかしらと夫にいったら、借りて作ってみて臭いがついたら自分がキープして新しいのを買って返せばいいじゃないかと。納豆大好きなのでTH-cam にあげてくださってありがとうございます。
@@シニアレイコ それが意外と臭いがつきませんでした！（絶対につかないとは言い切れませんが…ついてしまったらすみません）
シーリングリングは外すのをお勧めします。シリコンに臭いがつき易そうなのと、少し空気が入る方が発酵しやすいそうです。成功を祈っています！私も今また大豆を水に浸しているところです(^^)
コメントありがとうございました。
娘の友達がボーイフレンドと同居することになり2つあるのでとインスタントポットを1つを譲って貰いました。1年もたってしまいましたがまたこの動画を見て作ってみようと思っているところです。骨の健康にはビタミンK2を多く含む納豆はスーパーフードと言われていますね。妹に話したら納豆を自分で作るという発想はなかったわと言われたけれど、それはそうですよね。日本では安価で簡単に手に入る食品ですものね。
納豆作りを始めてみようかと思いこちらの動画を見ていたのですが２４時間ヨーグルトモードで終わったら蓋を開けていいのか、２４時間ヨーグルトモードでやった後また２４時間置いて置かないと行けないのでしょうか？
おしえてくださるとうれしいです
２４時間のヨーグルトモードの後で完成です！蓋を開けてOKです！
@@easyjapanesecooking ありがとうございます❗ちなみに私のヨーグルト機能がなかったのですが違うモードでもできるものなのでしょうか？🤔
@@wakana857 ヨーグルト機能は 温度を110 ° F (43 ° C)くらいに保つようです。別の方のコメントでsous vide モードで成功したと書かれていましたが、私は試した事ないです。インスタントポットを買う以前に、クーラーボックスの中で発酵させた事がありますが、温度を保つ為にお湯を入れたペットボトルを何度も交換したり、部屋もクーラーボックスも臭くなって大変でした💦オーブンを低温にして発酵させる人もいるようです。
@@easyjapanesecooking クーラーボックスでやったんですが全く粘りがつかず失敗しました🤣なのでinstant pot を購入してきましたw
そこでなのですが、キッチンペーパーをかけてボールをポットのなかに要れる時、ポットのなかに付属の土台かなにかを要れましたか？土台をいれてやっちゃったのですが大丈夫だと思いますか？
また、ventingとsealingがあるのですがどちらに向けたらいいのでしょうか？🤔
@@wakana857 クーラーボックスはダメだったんですね💦温度調節が難しいですよね。
私はインナーポット(内鍋？)に直接ボウルを入れています。ヨーグルト機能は熱くならないので大丈夫です。土台があっても問題ないと思いますよ。あと私のインスタントポットは勝手にSealingになってしまうのですが、Ventingに出来るならその方が良いようです。少し空気が入った方が発酵しやすいそうなので、Ventingの方が良いと聞いた事があります。私のはVentingにできないので、せめてもの思いでSealing Ringを外しています。臭い予防でもありますが。
成功しますように✨
What do you do with the rest of the broth?
I just drain it 😅
@@easyjapanesecooking Thank you for your reply. When you set 24h for yogurt this time you don''t need to seal it and then wait to depressurize?
ヨーグルトモード Lowかhighしかない場合highでも大丈夫ですか❓
ヨーグルトモードではLowかHighの設定はしないかもしれません。最初に豆を圧力に掛ける時にはHighに設定しますが、私のインスタントポットのヨーグルトモードでは設定がありませんでした。ヨーグルトのボタンを押して、時間設定を24時間にするだけでした。確認してみてください！
My instant pot yogurt setting doesn't work for natto. But new instant pot with sous vide setting works perfectly! I'm curious why you didn't sterilise the strainer... I've had many batches fail without everything carefully sterilised.
I should have sterilised my strainer. Thanks for pointing it out. I wash my strainer in the dishwasher, so it was technically sterilised I guess, but I should've done it again..😅 I'm wondering why your pot didn't work with yogurt setting...
@@easyjapanesecooking Oh, I think my specific unit yogurt-setting is damaged. It also doesn't slow cook properly. That's why we got a new one that has sous-vide setting.
@@corriedossenbach3344 Oh! I see 😊
@@corriedossenbach3344 my instant pot dont have yogurt setting to 😅 but have sous-vide option, do you put some water to use this option ? Or water is not needed?
@@kamils2 Water not needed. After my beans are steamed at pressure, I drain them then I dump them back into the pot and set it to sous-vide (I use 108'F for 24hrs). Comes out perfectly. I don't even put any plastic wrap on top, although everyone else I've seen does.
请问：保温的温度是多少？
Aloha, anyone know what the cooked beans temperture is when the starter natto mixing in?
I've never checked the temperature, but I leave it for about 5 minutes and stir the beans few times to cool it down a bit before mixing it with the starter.
@@easyjapanesecooking thank you so much!
I am curious, why don’t you put the drained beans directly back to the instant pot which was already sanitized
I prefer to ferment it in a smaller container so that I can directly store it in the fridge. Also, I can use dishwasher to wash it instead of washing the big sticky pot by hand. I guess I just like to make things easier or am lazy😄
貴女のInstantPotの容量はどの位ですか？3l〜5、7lあるいはそれ以上と色々とあります。私も購入して納豆を作ってみたいです。
6 quartsです。リットルだと6.8Lみたいです。大きくて場所を取るのですが。。
does it need to use plastic bowels to make natto ?
It doesn't have to be plastic as long as it's sanitized. I use this plastic bowl as I can store it in the fridge right from the instant pot ;)
If I pressure cook with the beans in the water, they disintegrate. If I pressure cook with the beans in the steaming basket, they end up too hard and dry.
プラスチックのボールをそのまま中に入れて大丈夫な？
発酵時のヨーグルトセッティングの時には温度が43度くらいまでしか上がらないのでプラスチックのボールやタッパーでも大丈夫です。（最初に圧力で大豆を煮る時にはプラスチックはダメです）
