hi polly,
so far all my shirataki noodles have had the details in japanese, i didn't learn to read it when i lived in japan but i know the last ones i got were 3g carbs and 3g fibre, so technically, it's a freebie (i asked the store owner to translate). be aware they smell funny out of the packet but that goes away once with other food, they have no taste but take on other flavours, and are slightly rubbery but not unpleasant. i don't know about sweet potatoes being yams, shiratkai are made from Glucomannan, which is taken from the Konnyaku root, a member of the yam family. it is mainly all fibre and expands when eaten with water.
hope that helps a little.
