Axone is the fermented soybean of Nagaland. Boiled soybeans are wrapped in banana or Stachyphrynium leaves and kept above the fireplace for about a week, where Bacillus bacteria turn them sticky and pungent. The beans are used fresh or pressed into cakes and smoked or dried, and are best known cooked with smoked pork. Made in 4 steps over 7 days. The longest step, wrap in leaves and ferment above the fireplace, takes 7 days (Vikram R 2026) and runs at 20–35 °C (Gopikrishna T 2021). Bacillus subtilis, found in every sample, with other Bacillus clusters and Bacillus coagulans, the major bacterium in axone samples in one study do most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
Axone is a natto-type Bacillus ferment like kinema and hawaijar, but it is fermented in leaves above the hearth and often smoked, so smoke is part of its flavour.
Smoked axone cakesFermented paste pressed into cakes and dried above the fire.
Galho with axone (Angami)Rice and smoked meat soup in which axone is added only with smoked meat.
Safety
Nothing in the sources sets a safety limit for axone. Like other open, spontaneous soybean ferments it can pick up environmental bacteria, so it is cooked into dishes.
Axone came from the Sümi Naga and is now eaten by many Naga tribes. Recipes recorded at the Hornbill Festival in 2023–2025 include smoked pork with axone (Sümi) and galho (Angami).
