Natto Day 2025: A Celebration of Taste and Health
July 10 marks
Natto Day, an event established by the National Natto Cooperative Association. Each year, this day is not only a celebration of the fermented soy product that has gained immense popularity for its health benefits but also a platform to promote its culinary versatility. In 2025, FamilyMart will introduce a creative selection of
ten new natto offerings under their private brand
Famima KITCHEN, available at approximately 16,300 stores nationwide starting from July 8.
The Appeal of Natto
Natto is rich in nutrients and serves as a great ally for health-conscious individuals. With an increasing trend towards home-cooked meals and healthy eating habits, the demand for natto has been on the rise. Many products emphasize its health benefits, making it an easy addition to daily meals.
FamilyMart is taking advantage of the occasion to promote their signature products. Among the highlights is the
Natto Hosomaki sushi, featuring a special limited-time offer with two extra rolls at a price of 389 yen (tax included). This superb sushi is enhanced with savory flavors from bonito and kelp extracts, crafted to accentuate the taste of the natto through low-temperature aging.
