Omiya Karinto Manju
With a single bite, you'll hear a crisp, crunchy sound like karinto. The dough, infused with brown sugar, is fried to a dry, fragrant perfection, and the inside overflows with plenty of smooth red bean paste. The contrast between the hard, aromatic exterior and the moist, sweet interior is irresistible. Omiya's Karinto Manju is a specialty created by the confectionery shop Omiya in Takasaki. They crush brown sugar from Hateruma, Okinawa, simmer it down in-store, knead it into the dough, and fry it until crisp. It prides itself on having such a substantial texture that it is often touted as the 'hardest karinto manju in Japan.' Perfect with tea or as a light snack. This addictive fried manju releases the aroma of brown sugar the more you chew.
