A real-vegetable Japanese mix (bamboo, carrot, burdock, shiitake, tofu) dragged down by added sugar, a hit of salt, and free MSG.

Why this verdict

Solid whole-vegetable base: bamboo shoots, carrot, burdock root, shiitake, and bean curd
Added sugar and extra salt push it toward processed-food territory
Contains free MSG (monosodium glutamate) as a flavor booster
Canned and NOVA-4, but no artificial colors, emulsifiers, or modified starches

Bamboo shoots (safe) — A whole vegetable - low calorie, high fiber, naturally fat- and sugar-free.

Burdock root (safe) — Whole root vegetable, high in fiber.
Shiitake black mushrooms (safe) — Whole mushroom, naturally savory.
Dried bean curd (soybeans, water, salt, calcium chloride) (safe) — Tofu — a minimally processed plant protein.

Soy sauce (water, soybeans, wheat, salt) (moderate) — Brewed seasoning, but a significant sodium source.
Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
