The karinto manju (かりんとう饅頭) is a Japanese snack that resembles the manju however the karinto manjyu differs in regard to its outer wrapping being sweetened with brown sugar and then the entire manjyu being deep fried in oil, giving it its defining crunchy “karinto” feature.

The karinto majyu gained popularity after being featured in local television programs in Fukushima prefecture. Notably, Tamura city is well known for its karinto manjyu. However, Fukushima’s Koriyama city, Aizuwakamatsu city as well as the neighboring prefecture, Gunma are also known for their karinto manjyu production.
