What is Good Morning Natto?
Good morning natto is natto produced and sold by Yamada Foods Co., Ltd. in Misato Town, Akita Prefecture.
Yamada Foods has suspended factory tours due to the coronavirus pandemic, but you can see the exterior of the main factory by riding the Ugo Kotsu Yokote/Large Curve bus.
Under the slogan "Food must be delicious," Ohayo Natto is made with a focus on three things: safety, security, deliciousness, and research and development.
Natto refers to soybeans, and every year Yamada Foods examines the suitability of processing more than 50 types of soybeans and manufactures products from the most suitable ones.
In addition, since water is essential for processing soybeans, we check water quality, research the natto bacteria that is essential for fermentation, and have dozens of our own original natto bacteria.
Ohayo Natto was born from this kind of attention to detail and the pure water of Misato Town.
