"Breathe a sigh of relief and sit down with a peaceful view of the garden or mountains—you've escaped the frantic crowds of Nikko for a moment. Yuba (tofu skin), a local specialty, was historically made by the vegetarian monks of Nikko's temples. It's thicker and a little fluffier than Kyoto yuba. Try it lots of different ways in the lunch set here. Come here to slow down after a morning of visiting crowded shines and temples." - Brandon Presser
