We have already shared with you delicious dishes made of yuba.
Yuba, or tofu skin, is made from a film formed on the surface of boiled soy milk. And yuba sashimi is a perfect way of eating raw yuba.
Many different restaurants offer them in Nikko area, as a separate dish or as part of a menu (usually a vegetarian set).
Try out this refreshing dish!
Sakaeya is right across Tobu Nikko Station, and it sells their original Ageyubamanju that can only be found at their shop.
This delicious product is a bun filled with anko (red bean) paste, wrapped in yuba (tofu skin), fried, and finally salt-topped. This sweet and savory combination may seem unusual, but it’s uniquely tasty. And only 200 yen a piece!
