Amatama Karin

This is a Karinto Manju (fried sweet bun) with a crispy texture, featuring a black dough kneaded with bamboo charcoal and golden sesame seeds. The 'Amatama Karin' is born in Kawagoe, consisting of smooth red bean paste enveloping a sweet potato filling. This confection was created following the broadcast of the NHK morning drama 'Tsubasa' set in Kawagoe in 2009. It is produced by Monzoan, the makers of Kawagoe's famous Karinto Manju, and is an exclusive item available only at the tourist facility Koedo Kurari. The area of Koedo Kawagoe has been closely associated with sweet potatoes since the Edo period. With its crispy crust and fluffy sweetness from the potato, the unique appearance of the black dough makes this a special treat that serves as a great souvenir story from your stroll through Kawagoe.
