Q: What is the sodium content? I'd like an answer from the manufacturer since the label is all in Japanese.

There is so much false information here about sodium content. I just received my 24oz bottle. The outside label on the wrapper says 870mg. The label on the bottle itself says 720mg. Regardless the taste verdict is that it is salty. It fails the salty taste test for me. See pics of label in my review.

Q: Can someone tell me what the exact ingredients are? Thank you!

Everything on the bottle is written in Japanese but I looked it up on some other sites and the claim is water, soy beans, wheat, sun dried sea salt.

Q: is there MSG in this?

According to the FDA, MSG occurs naturally in many foods including tomatoes and cheese. MSG was originally extracted and crystalized from seaweed. MSG is naturally present in soy bean extracts. The glutamate in MSG is chemically indistinguishable from glutamate present in food proteins. An average adult consumes approximately 13 grams of glutamate each day from the protein in food, while intake of added MSG is estimated at around 0.55 grams per day.
