Kitakari Asahikawa Main Store

5.0

Asahikawa's only shop specializing in karinto sweet fried snacks which first opened in 1931. They sell over 20 different types of karinto all made with 100% Hokkaido wheat. To fight the image that karinto is oily and too sweet they use a manufacturing method that doesn't allow the oil to soak in to the snack. This results in a karinto with a crunchy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. In addition to their specialty Haruyutaka Karinto Brown Sugar and Honey they are also well known for their Black Pepper Karinto which has a tingly spicy taste that pairs perfectly with beer.

旭川みやげに

Reviewed : 2019.02.23

昨年の出張時に、旭川名物で何かいいおみやげはないかということで、現地の人間につれていってもらいました。店内に入ると、ガラス張りでかりんとうの実演コーナーが（ちょうど、時間的にやっていないじかんでしたが）。お値段も種類もなかなかの数そろっているので、お土産にはもってこいでした。
