Nikko's mizu yokan is both delicious and hard to beat.
The strained bean paste makes it not too sweet, yet juicy so you won't get tired of eating it.
Perfect for souvenirs.
However, be careful as water will leak if you lay it down.

I wanted to eat some before entering the hot springs, so I bought 5 bottles of Nikko Mizu Yokan (820 yen). It had a watery, smooth texture and was easy to eat. Please note that it must be refrigerated. I found out later that it was a shop that looked like something you'd see in a tourist brochure. They also sold bite-sized yokan, so it might be a good place to eat while walking.

This is Yoshidaya, a long-established Nikko Yokan shop.
After visiting Toshogu Shrine, the weather was nice, so I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and stopped by on my way back to Tobu Nikko Station on foot.
