Karinto (花林糖 karintō (ateji)) is a traditional Japanese snack food. Sweet and deep-fried it is made primarily of flour yeast and brown sugar. It has a deep brown and pitted appearance and takes the form of a bite-sized pillow or short cylinder. Although traditional karinto is coated with brown sugar recently other variations appear in the market such as white sugar sesame seeds miso or peanuts.
