Umaibo is one of the most classic and diverse snacks among Japanese appetizers. From Showa era to the present day, it remains a snack that can be enjoyed at any time for its small size. Popular among children for its extremely affordable price and addictive taste, this cylindrical corn stick offers over 60 flavors, with standout options like mentaiko (cod roe) and cheese.
Today, we’re introducing an unusual flavor that may not be for everyone: natto, or fermented soybeans. This intriguing Umaibo stick features a mild spicy essence reminiscent of wasabi, while the natto flavor is subtle and aromatic. As the puffy texture dissolves in your mouth, blending with the corn flavor, it provides a taste of one of Japan’s more unique culinary experiences—one that can be challenging for some due to its fermented taste. For those who aren’t quite ready to dive into the world of natto but are curious about its flavor, we highly recommend this gentle snack as a great way to share the experience with family and friends.
