Step 1
Wash the soybeans and soak for 9 hours in the summer to 12 hours in the winter (I used Instant Pot insert bowl for soaking to wash less dishes).
Step 2
Drain soybeans in a medium colander.
Step 3
Place the beans back into the pressure cooker bowl, and add filtered water to cover the beans by an inch.
Step 4
Use the 'bean' setting on Instant Pot, or cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally when done.
Step 5
Discard any extra liquid, if any, using a sieve, and place the soybeans back into the bowl of the pressure cooker.
Step 6
Dissolve 1 special spoonful of Nattomoto powder in 1 tablespoon of sterilized water.
Step 7
Pour the Nattomoto solution over the beans, and stir them carefully with a spoon.
Step 8
Divide the soybean mixture between the containers, cover with sterilized cheese cloth, and cover the containers with lids (I didn't snap my lids, so the beans were not air-tight).
Step 9
Place the containers into a preheated oven maintaining the temperature around 100º-104ºF (38º-40ºC). Let the natto ferment for 22-24 hours.
Step 10
Remove the natto from oven, and transfer to refrigerator for a night. The next morning, the natto is ready.
