J-Google says they're not exactly the same thing, as they use different plants for the flour they contain. However, you've already bought them so why not give them a try?

thank you and sorry for double posting! oh man! i was hoping it's shirataki. Only because i was looking for a low carb alternative to noodles and they say shiritaki is the best one!

It seems like it'd be pretty low-carb to me, as it's made from kudzu. Should be high-fiber, too, wouldn't you think? I'm just guessing, though.

food value of shirataki: food energy 6kcal/100g, carb 3g/100g, dietary fiber 2.9g/100g

food value of kuzukiri(boiled): food energy 135kcal/100g, carb 33.3g/100g, dietary fiber 0.8g/100g

Shirataki beats kuzukiri...

Sure, you could look it up, OR you could go by feel.

Normally shirataki (sometimes sold under the name of Ito-konnyaku) is sold raw - packed with some water in a plastic bag.

They are not sold dry, because if you dry konnyaku or shirataki, the texture completely changes.

Maybe you'll find shirataki in the section where fresh food (like tofu) is sold.
