Excellent Kaiseki lunch (Japanese multiple course meal focused on small portions and excellent presentation) which was affordable given these meals would be much more expensive in Tokyo or Kyoto! The service was friendly and helpful. The food was so thoughtful and delicious! Tempura was light and tofu was flavourful. Would def recommend this meal before visiting the holy temples of Nikko

I loved it! You can sit both ways - western and Japanese, and the setup is casual. After staying for 3 months in Japan, I had Yuba for the first time. The quality of food was amazing and so was the hospitality. If you are a tofu lover - you will not want to miss this experience

One of the more popular restaurants in Nikkō near Tōshō-gū shrine is Fudan Kaiseki Nagomi Chaya, and they specialize in yuba (the top layer that forms when making tofu).
We went for a kaiseki yuba lunch course that consisted of about 9 dishes with several of them incorporating either yuba or tofu.
It’s a small shop with a Japanese vibe, some of the tables have floor seating, and service is really good. This a great place to stop for some authentic Nikkō specialties.
