mannanhikari Diet Dry Shirataki Rice, 75 gram (7 Pieces)

I love rice and have it daily as part of a balanced diet. Unfortunately as I've gotten older I haven't been able to enjoy carbs as freely as I once did. I've tried substitutions like cauliflower rice, quinoa and the other Konjac rice products (the ones packed in liquid). None of them have been very satisfying in terms of taste and texture which is a big factor for me. Cauliflower rice gives everything a cauliflower like taste no matter what you pair it with and the wet Konjac rice has a weird slippery texture and takes awhile to dry pan frying it for regular use (sometimes gives off an odd smell too). I guess it really boils down to texture, if I'm going to eat rice I'd prefer a close rice like mouth feel as possible. With this dry Mannanhikari rice it was a total game changer- I can still eat rice but not all the calories! At first I was skeptical, I was worried the rice wouldn't 'cook' like regular rice. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, it didn't have any weird taste or texture. In fact, it was so well incorporated into the regular rice I had a hard time telling the grains apart. I even served it to my picky husband, didn't tell him it had diet rice in it and he couldn't even tell the difference either! All the instructions are in Japanese but I was able to find a source online that translated it. I rinsed one cup of Jasmine rice and then added one packet of Mannanhikari rice unrinsed and added 1.5 cups of water. It came out perfectly! The serving size after cooking was a little over 4 cups of cooked rice. I served it with a Japanese curry and it was amazing! I wish it wasn't so expensive, but at least I know I have better options now.

Super yummy rice especially when mixed with jasmine rice. I love to do 1 cup jasmine rice with 1 package of this with 3 cups water in the rice cooker. So delicious. Especially when you add mixed grain rice for extra nutrition which gives so much flavor to the mix. This rice takes the guilt out of eating rice for me and the texture and taste is identical to any other rice you're eating. If you want it more firm then add less water but the flavor is super delicious.

The taste is awesome ... just like rice. Was happy about that!!! But I thought all the while since its SHIRATAKI it was low carb or zero carb like the wet ones I've tried. I am on a Keto diet hoping to get out of insulin. After having this rice, I was wondering why my blood sugar was up when I've gotten it consistently below 130 for the last 2 weeks. So i searched to see what the nutritional fact is on this and just found an answer from the seller right here about Nutritional Info. It has 44.4 g carb !!! Not sure what the serving portion was cause it didn't say .... but that is a LOT!!! I felt like I just ate reg rice. :-( and i thought i found a good low carb alternative....

I'm impressed with the ease of cooking and the great taste, Lo Carbs and fiber. There is no english on the packaging so follow these instructions: Rinse several times in cold water and boil like pasta for a few minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, give it a quick heating in a hot dry pan to dry it a bit and serve. Good with salt and butter or olive oil.

It's the best almost no-calorie pasta/rice substitute I've ever run into. Texture is perfect (imo), but it has no taste or flavor. I microwave a 1:2.5 (pasta:water) mix for 3 min, wait 2min minutes, microwave 2 min, and wait 10min. If you're a foodie or gourmet you'll hate it, otherwise it's the best substitute so far invented. However, it is way too expensive to eat on a regular basis. Thus, I buy it and store it for those times when I run out of sirataki noodles making dinner.

I was skeptical at first but when I cooked it and tried, oh wow, it taste like real rice. I’ve been eating the konjac shiratake rice and it’s not the same. This rice is way way different from the taste and texture. I will definitely buy again this product. The only request I have is to have an English equivalent of the nutrients and instructions. And maybe to lower the price.

Total carb 65.8 - fiber 21.8= Net carb 44, this is not keto friendly nor a low glycemic index rice. Note also the sugar added 40g, I wonder if this nutrition facts are right if this is konjac shirataki rice. The entire pkge is in Japanese but there’s a label pasted to the bag in English. Please confirm!

the best dry shiratake rice I ever ordered. I am regularly ordering for my consumption.

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。

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‥）

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.

ダイエットになったら…いいな… 夕飯に白米をしっかり食べたいな… という気持ちで買ってみました 最初に米と2:1で炊きましたが全く違和感なく、 1:1で炊いたらさすがに違和感あるのでは…と思いましたが 言われなかったらわからないレベルどころか 言われてもわからないレベルでした 実際家族に入れたのを言わずに食卓に出したところ 全く気づかれませんでした 少し水っぽくなるので硬めに炊いています またお米のような粘り気がないので おにぎりにすると多少ぽろぽろしますが ラップに包んで握れば特段問題もなく おにぎりにしてもおいしく食べられます 分包になっているのはズボラには大変ありがたいです 計量せずにザザーッと入れればよいので… 痩せたかどうかについては特に変わらず でも太りもしないですし気兼ねなく白米を食べられるので 今後も買おうと思います

糖尿予備軍の夫の為に以前からこちらの商品を愛用しています。 しかし、この７本パックは我が家の近所のドラッグストアではタイミングが良くないと手に入らず困っていました。 「amazon定期便」対象商品として丁度あったので 買い忘れなく、しかもかなり安く購入できて助かってます。 コレ一包が米１合の計算になります。 商品にはもっとお得な大袋サイズもあるのですが 小分け包装されていません。 いちいち米とは別に測るのが面倒に感じるズボラな私には こっちのほうが楽でありがたいです。 白米２合＋マンナンスティック１袋＝3合炊ける計算。 これで３３パーセントカット。 カロリーカットの希望によりマンナン度合を増やしたり減らしたりできます。 我が家の炊飯ペースでいくと この７袋入りをひと月で消費します。 通常の炊飯器の水加減ですと柔らかめに炊き上がります。 お弁当にも使ってますが 冷めても気になる臭みもないし、冷めて食べるお弁当には程良い柔らかさです。 問題のカロリーカットはどうなのか？ですが。 我が家は「これ以上太らないである程度、米をいっぱい食べたい」という趣旨でコレを食べてます。 まいにちご飯をたっぷり食べてますけど 「とりあえず痩せてはいない。しかし太ってもいない。」 現状維持できてます。 お腹いっぱい米を食べなければ ちゃんと体重は減ってきます。
