Yutaka Gluten Free and Organic Shirataki Konjac Noodles, 313 g, Pack of 6

I made it with a creamy sauce and meatballs and it taste so good. Better than any alternative I’ve tried on the keto diet. I was actually able to finish the plate! The texture is a bit chewy but it isn’t normal pasta and doesn’t contain carbs so I’m not too fussed. Going to make it in a stir fry next! Excited and pleased. Will definitely be ordering more! Finally found a good alternative 😫

Excellent for low carb dietary requirements. Please please read the instructions. You MUST rinse them thoroughly. Yes, they smell when you open the packet and drain them, but this disappears after rinsing. These are an excellent, filling alternative to those noodles you pine hue but can’t have on a low carb diet. They don’t actually taste of anything much until you load them with your favourite spices/flavourings. Then they take on that flavour superbly. Low carb, low fat, low calorie, low maintenance!

Was a bit worried as I've heard people sometimes struggle to like these, and have heard mentioned this type of noodles can have a string fishy odour. Well, I worried for nothing - they're great! When freshly opened, they smell just of fresh uncooked fish, not a terrible smell by any means. After washing off the excess liquid under a tap, then boiling them for 5min and draining again (advice from a channel on youtube), no smell remained.Regarding the texture - a little bit tough, jelly-like, but not hard to eat (just requiring a lil bit more thorough chewing). If you like glass noodles, you'd like these :) I think those that struggle with the texture probably have not had a huge variety of noodle types, and expect a very soft kind of noodle.Flavour - there is none. I honestly see them going with a whole variety of flavours, but would steer to those that are found in glass-noodle dishes, because of the texture similarity. But so far I've had them in a very simple dish with eggs, oil, butter, sesame seeds, and maggi seasoning (weird combo, I know, but yummy).Overall, they're really filling and enjoyable. Don't expect the taste of high calorie pasta/noodles, but definitely very close to glass-noodles :) will buy again.

these are perfect if your wanting to lose weight but want noodles. there is only around 10 cals per 170 grams and thats enough per person. they taste great, there texture and smell might be strange to some but if you can get over that there great. they last long so you dont need to rush to use them and there easy to prepare, just drain the juice and cook.

Very hard to chew, not soft like noodles. Wouldn’t buy again

It was the first time that I tried konjac noodles, and after having read the reviews I was expecting a vomit-inducing smell. I was mentally prepared for it when I opened the first packet, but to my surprise, they didn't smell! Please note that after the noodles I tried konjac rice from another brand, and it did smell terribly so much that it lingered also after lots of rinsing!Anyway, back to these noodles, it was an amazing surprise. I am Italian and a pasta addict, so I had them with a tomato and ricotta sauce, some parmesan and basil. Not bad at all, and you don't feel guilty! The only downside is that they gave me a very bad heartburn/ stomachache during the night. I somehow overcame the problem by cutting them in half with scissors. I had them with red curry and veg, it was also very good. All in all , apart from a digestive issue that hopefully I won't experience anymore, I am very happy with the flavour and texture of this brand, and for the fact that they don't smell at all. Next recipe is going to be with homemade pesto!

We ate one packet of these noodles with a vegetable stir fry. They did smell kind of fishy on opening the packet but I decided not to let that put me off. The flavour was a little unexpected, as was the texture, which is probably an acquired taste. I found it not overly pleasant to have somewhat crunchy noodles in my meal when I think I'd expected a very soft texture.Anyway, I ate the meal but within a couple of hours I had stomach ache. That night I was unfortunately kept awake by stomach pains and nausea.The next morning I threw away the other five packets that I'd bought.I won't be touching konjac noodles again.

Even though it is supposedly calorie free and low carbs, it still spikes glucose, so use with care if you are diabetic.
