Sachiaki Takamiya is a writer and the creator of Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He has authored a range of books, with one of his better-known works being the spiritual adventure novel, Ten-jo-no-Symphony, published in Japanese by Kodansha in 2006. His contributions in English include The Ikigai Diet, and Ikigai Bio-Hacking.

He embraces a sustainable lifestyle in a serene town in Shiga Prefecture, growing his own vegetables and crafting fermented foods. In 2018, he innovatively translated this lifestyle into a diet, thus birthing the Ikigai Diet. In 2022, he further enriched this diet, transforming it into a holistic health approach called Ikigai Bio-Hacking.

Homemade natto has been a staple of his diet for nearly a decade, holding a central role in the Ikigai Diet. Embracing this passion for natto, he donned the moniker ‘Natto King’ in 2022 and began disseminating natto-related insights via his YouTube channel, the Ikigai Diet.

His health-focused lifestyle has certainly paid dividends. Despite being in his early 60s, he consistently receives clean bills of health.

    Hey Sachiaki! I cured small keratoma on skin at my left arm using natto. I applyed natto on keratoma 3 times and keratoma gone out in one week. Bacillus subtillis ferment killed, eaten keratoma on skin. Hi from the Western Siberia!
  • I am interested in maximising the benefits of my natto and minimising carbs intake. Do you think I can prolong fermentation beyond 24h, or at least leaving the finished natto at room temp for days. I do this with all my lacto ferment products like yoghurt, kefir and fermented cabbage , so that they have higher nutrients like vịt B , C , but close to zero carbs. I hope to hear your advices regarding natto. Thanks for another great video as always!

    I’m going to try Natto mac and cheese. I have now eaten Natto daily for 16 days and I never plan to stop.

    5:12 "..whether or not it contains much water or not makes the difference.." Your video doesn't mention what the difference is.. I assume the less it's heated in water, the better. But that's just a guess. My favorite way to eat natto is topped with a lightly fried egg and mix3d with fresh herbs from the garden.. any combination of green onion, Thai basil, perilla leaves, water parsley (미나리)... But my family prefers it cooked in a stew.

    Can you reference your favorite tasty way to eat Natto, maybe post here a recipe link. What is the tastiest way to eat Natto? I am vegan. I followed the instructions on my small container of Natto, it said add mustard, and vinegar, it was so bad I could not finish eating it.
