Normal carb for this is 37.1 g. Their site says 1 go plus 75 g of mannan hikari is 27.6 g carb for total 150 g and that is why they say 33% calorie off. I've tried this ratio and the rice comes out perfectly fluffy. Mannanhikari is konjac ie what shirataki noodle and konnyaku is made from - konjac. Some one thought no way to keep konjac dry and that is not so. I purchase dried bundles of shirataki noodle from Japan to keep in the US. Just boil in water and they become regular shirataki. Because I don't see the exact carb amount of this (they are more concerned with kcal), you have to to do your own calculation for carb. But if you can do 50% rice and 50% mananhikari, the carb should be lower than 20 g for 1 go rice. **Q: how to cook?** A: You can follow risotto recipe Italian style. I cooked it with mushrooms, asparagus, different vegetable. Recipe with mushrooms (there is a my picture): 1. to wash the rice 2. to cook the sauce mixing in a frying pan mushrooms, one piece of leef, green peas, olive oil, salt and after a while vegetale water 3. when the sauce is cooked, to add rice and if it needs some other vegetale water. Cook for 10/15 minutes 4. a sprinkling of pepper and parsley before serving. Buon appetito! **Q: What are the ingredients, please?** A: Kojac and tapioca flour I think **Q: I would also like to know how to prepare lithe rice. to cook or not cook? how much water? per little packet? i received it and couldn’t make out how** A: I prepare it just like regular rice. I pour the little packet into my strainer, rinse it, then either mix it with an equal quantity of rice, or cook it alone. I also use a measuring cup beforehand because I can never remember how much is in each packet - I want to say 1/3 cup, but again, measure it, then, use the correct amount of water (same ratio as rice.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 違和感なく食べています *by シ***? on February 1, 2019* 見た目は米の半分もない粒の大きさですが、米と一緒に炊くと本物の米と同様の大きさとなり、混ぜてしまえば見た目は全く見分けがつかないほどとなります。 味も食感も本物のご飯のようです。 臭いもクセもなく、食べやすいです。 私は米3合に対して1合のマンナンを混ぜて4合で炊いています。 ### ⭐⭐⭐ 味をもう少し何とか。 *by B***M on July 29, 2020* 糖質制限のためにリピート利用しているが、もう少し味を何とかできないものだろうか。 もう何年も使用しているが未だに慣れない。（白いメシが食べたい‥） ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product for carbohydrate and calorie reduced cooking *by A***R on December 12, 2018* I liked this. Actually you’re supposed to mix it with regular rice but I found it also ok without mixing and instead covered in curry sauce etc. Obviously it does not taste the same as actual rice however if you eat it on its own. ## Frequently Bought Together - mannanhikari Diet Dry Shirataki Rice, 75 gram (7 Pieces) - Tame prime dried Shirataki rice, Konjac rice 12 oz, Keto Friendly,Low GI,80% less calories than white rice. - YUHO Shirataki Konjac Keto Rice: Gluten Free Plant Based Low Carbs Vegan Fat Free Noodle Rice - 8 Pack Inside 53.61 OZ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/732672369-manan-hikari-otsuka-foods-18-6-oz-525-g-stick](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/732672369-manan-hikari-otsuka-foods-18-6-oz-525-g-stick) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
