Enjoy a traditional Japanese snack made from crispy fried dough sticks, lightly sweetened and inspired by the comforting flavor of kurikinton — a beloved Japanese chestnut sweet. Known as karinto, this classic Japanese treat is loved for its satisfying crunch and nostalgic taste.

This special flavor is inspired by kurikinton, a traditional confection from Nakatsugawa in Gifu Prefecture made simply from chestnuts and sugar. Gifu has long been known for its rich chestnut harvests, and kurikinton has become one of the region’s most iconic seasonal sweets. This karinto captures the natural sweetness and gentle aroma of chestnuts in a light, crispy snack.

Unlike heavier traditional karinto, this version has a delicate crunch and mild sweetness, making it easy to enjoy for all ages. The thin, crispy sticks pair perfectly with green tea, black tea, coffee or as an everyday treat.

Simple and comforting, this rustic countryside-style karinto brings together the warmth of traditional Japanese sweets and the rich flavor of Gifu chestnuts.
