Silky handmade konjac
Kazuko's konjac is light and fluffy and has a mild flavor without distinct konjac smell. You will enjoy these thin delicious slices of raw konjac, so different from its traditional image. It is delicious even when used in vinegared or simmered dishes. Although konjac can be produced with a hard or soft texture depending on its use, Kazuko prefers a light and fluffy texture for konjac.
Can "silky" mean light and fluffy or the like?
Thank you for your advice.

soft
No, it doesn't.
I would use "soft" to describe the texture of the whole mass and keep "silky" to describe the smooth surface of the foodstuff.
The contrast here is "hard and dense" vs. "soft and light".
"Fluffy" is not appropriate; konjac can be soft, but it's not airy or hairy like a kiwifruit skin. Even soft konjac is quite chewy.
