Enjoy Yuba Cuisine in Nikko!

  • Nikko / Kinugawa Onsen / Aizu

Yuba Cuisine is one of the specialties of Nikko.
Yuba is a thin layer of skin created on the surface of soy milk when it is boiled down. Yuba is also popular in Kyoto; however, the yuba in Nikko is slightly different from Kyoto's in the way it is made and its appearance.
Kyoto's yuba is pulled up from the edges with skewers giving it a flat shape; while Nikko's yuba has several layers with a voluminous texture, as it is folded in two in the middle and pulled up with a skewer, then rolled up.
Our recommended yuba restaurant in Nikko is "Nikko Yubamaki ZEN".
Their No.1 recommended menu is "Nikko Yubamaki", where "Tochigi Wagyu", a renowned Japanese Beef from Tochigi prefecture, is wrapped with yuba.
There are many other yuba restaurants in Nikko as well, so please find your favorite one.
