Japan Gold Gluten Free Dried Shirataki Noodles, 2.6 Ounce, Pack of 6

I have to avoid regular pasta due to the impact it has on blood sugar, but this stuff is fine. Each individual package has 3 birds nests worth of noodles, with one package (3 nests) being enough for me and my husband... although it is a light portion for him, and I only eat 1 of the nests. I love that these are shelf stable, and have no nasty smell. Compared to the ones you buy in the produce department of a grocery store, I far and wide prefer these. The grocery store stuff smelled awful and were slimier. These are much better. I used them in soup today, but cooked the noodles per package directions first. (Place in hot simmering water for 5 minutes, rinse well to remove the tapiaco syrup (and most of the carbs). I then tossed them into the soup and ate immediately. They were quite good. My second bowl later on though they were more gelatenous, so I recommend prepping them fresh. They are transluscent when cooked and do have a different texture than normal pasta, but not necessarily unpleasant. They were quite good in the soup, and I look forward trying them with sauce (alfredo, tomatoe). Not sure how they will work for that, but anything you might prepare with a ramen style noodle would likely work well. 1 package, 3 nests, has 35 calories total. These are not carb free, but very low. Prior to rinsing off the tapioca syrup the package indicates there is 22 grams of carbs in 3 nests, but by rinsing this is reduced signficantly. Boo to the package directions for not specifiying the carb count AFTER rinsing them, but given the calories reduce by nearly 2/3 one could surmise the carb count does as well. I am glad I gave these a try, and they will be a new staple in my pantry. Note that there is a very similar product on Amazon (same packaging, brand) but it is derived from rice- they have higher carbs so be careful when you go to purchase that you are buying what you think you are buying.

These are super misleading! They are not normal dried Shirataki noodles, there are extra ingredients added which makes these noodles 78 carbs when prepared. I might as well eat normal noodles. They add tapioca syrup to these noodles which is sugar and It also gives them a weird sweet flavor. They are high in carbs and taste gross. Don’t spend your money on these!!!!

The media could not be loaded. Good flavor, price is ok but it will be better if lower price available. Never thought that it could be nice flavor to eat as I saw other people reviews on similar( other brands) not the same product. Easy to cook. All noodles are well

The good: Shelf stable, no smell. Good texture. Tastes ok.The bad: higher in calories than other shiritaki. What they call a serving is more like half a serving at best.I definitely won't replace my regular shiritaki for this. Its ok to keep at work, but not worth the price to me.

This item consists of a case with six little packages of dried noodles. Each package has three "buns" of noodles, which means you're not forced to eat them all in one sitting. The preparation is exceedingly simple: you boil them for a couple of minutes, and then strain the noodles and give them a wash. This is done so that all the tapioca syrup that they contain can be removed, effectively reducing the calorie content of the noodles to a third of its original value. Still, even after cooking, the energy in one package is close to a hundred calories, which is a far cry from typical shirataki. The great thing about these is that they don't suffer from the stench of typical shirataki, and come dry, which is very advantageous for transportation and storage. They have almost no taste, but absorb most seasonings readily, like the flavor packets in ramen, soy sauce, or the juice of stir-fry. I have no idea if they stay good in the fridge after cooking, or how they play with richer sauces or cream, but I'm guessing that both won't have a positive outcome. The noodles are quite filling; as an adult male with a big appetite, I find that one package is more than enough to leave me satisfied.

I much prefer these to the soft shirataki in bags of fluid. They're easier to store & simple to cook. Each packet has 3 small servings in it, which makes it easy to decide how big a serving I want.

All good great product

One of the great attractions of Shirataki/Konjac pasta, at least in other brands, is the zero calorie status.When I opened the package, I was a bit stunned to find that a very small packet of this product shows 200 calories, although the distributors estimate some drop off after cooking. Most of these calories are carbohydrates.Ounce for ounce, you might as well have ordinary noodles, although avoiding wheat-based pasta is a plus for many. Also, I found the quantity pretty anemic per packet and the package very pricey per ounce. On the other hand, they cook pretty easily, do not have the odor of many of the liquified brands and store very easily. So, if you aren't worried about value or about calories, this might be a four star product. But if you are calorie or carbohydrate sensitive, other brands are far more acceptable.
