Karinto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karinto (sometimes spelled karintou) is a traditional Japanese snack food. Sweet and deep-fried, it is made primarily of flour and sugar. It is deep brown and pitted appearance, and takes the form of a 'bite-sized' pillow or short cylinder.
[edit] History
Karinto has been available from street merchants since at least the Edo-Tempo period, roughly 1830 to 1841.
