The front of the label says “信州産榎茸使用。原材料は全て伝統製法の国産品です” (uses Shinshu-grown enoki; all ingredients are Japanese products made by traditional methods) and “おいしい自社天然水使用” (uses the company’s own delicious natural water). It says to refrigerate after opening and eat soon. The official shop’s best-before period is 365 days.

What the maker says it does not use
From the official online shop’s product description (“増粘剤や保存料等の添加物は一切使用しておりません”: no additives such as thickeners or preservatives are used at all) and the official site’s “安心で美味しい理由” (reasons it is safe and tasty) (“増粘剤を使用しません”: no thickener is used)
Not found in the ingredient list
This is not the maker's “not used” claim. These are things often seen in similar products that we checked are not written in this product's ingredient list. Additives carried over from ingredients may not be declared, so this does not mean they are absent (about additives not written on labels).
