Azabu Karinto: Tradition Meets Innovation

Azabu Karinto has a rich history spanning over 300 years.

With a variety of over 30 flavors, including seasonal options, the products capture the essence of the bustling district and treat each bite as its own unique experience. Signature products such as the summer vegetable karinto, featuring ingredients like tomato and corn chips, exemplify the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.



The KARINTO MUSEUM series, with its decorative packaging reminiscent of stained glass artwork, serves as perfect gifts or collectibles, inviting customers to savor moments and memories through flavors.
