Natto is another food supposed to be good for autophagy, according to Dr. Tamotsu Yoshimori, the author of Life Science Nagaikisezaruwoenaijidai no Seimeikagakukogi. He was a co-researcher of Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, and is one of the prominent experts on autophagy. The book is a number 1 best seller on amazon in Japan now, and in English, it is translated like Life Science: A Life Science Lecture for the Age when we all have to live long. It is a book all about autophagy.
