Karinto is a traditional Japanese cookie-like snack, made from naturally fermented wheat flour dough.  Cut into short, finger-sized pieces, it is deep-fried until it gets crispy.  Often finished by coating with syrup of various kinds, this light and crispy treat has been widely favoured among Japanese of all ages. 

Most commonly, Karinto is coated with mineral-rich brown sugar syrup.  At Asahi Seika, we passionately explore creating an even more tasty syrup for Karinto, and with continuous efforts, we have finally created the "FINGYS."

Its syrup is made by adding a powder made of the Japanese purple sweet potato and finished with sprinkles of roasted black sesame seeds.  The subtle sweetness of the sweet potato and the savoury sesame flavour will spread in your mouth.
