Summary
A profession specializing in the manufacture of karinto by mixing flour and sugar, frying the dough, and seasoning with sugar or syrup.
Description
Karinto manufacturing workers are artisans who perform the entire karinto manufacturing process, including measuring and mixing raw materials, kneading, shaping, frying in oil, and finishing with sugar or syrup. They must strictly control temperature and frying time to ensure consistent product texture and sweetness. Work styles vary from large-scale production lines to handmade small-batch production, and hygiene management and simple equipment maintenance are also essential tasks.
