Welcome to Yuba Cafe Hazuki, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This enchanting café is renowned for its unique offerings centered around yuba, a delicacy made from tofu that captures the essence of Japanese cuisine. With its cozy and tranquil atmosphere, Yuba Cafe Hazuki is perfect for both leisurely lunches and a serene escape after exploring the nearby stunning temples.

Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable culinary journey as you delve into their carefully curated menu. One standout dish is the ごま香る!とろっとゆばのスープごはん (Sesame Fragrant Yuba Soup Rice) which features a rich, flavorful sauce drizzled over perfectly cooked rice, generously topped with their homemade yuba. The delightful blend of flavors is elevated when paired with your choice of black pepper, adding that extra touch of warmth and zest. The set includes sides like delicate yuba and vegetable simmer, crispy okara salad, and a refreshing yuba dessert drizzled with kinako and syrup – all for just JP¥1,980.

If you're in the mood for something unique, try the 焼きゆばホットサンド (Grilled Yuba Hot Sandwich), a creative and savory take that intertwines yuba with fresh ingredients like lettuce, onions, and cheese, creating a satisfying crunch with each bite. Enjoy this delightful sandwich alongside the recommended sides for only JP¥1,150.

Been to Japan many times, and this is the best yuba meal we’ve had! Every dish is surprisingly delicious. Even the sandwich was lovely. The atmosphere is homey.

I was thrilled to discover this café, where I had the chance to taste Nikko's specialty—yuba. After exploring the nearby Nikko temples, which are just a 5-minute walk away, I found this fantastic spot offering a diverse set menu featuring yuba prepared in various ways. The food arrived quickly and was not only delicious but also intriguing, as it was my first time trying yuba. This café is the perfect lunch location close to the temple area of Nikko.

Nice little jewel in Nikko, right at the exit of the Shrines and temples. Yuba food was amazing, flavorfull and so nicely presented. They don't speak much english, but we understood each other well and super friendly. Would recommend to anyone!!

It is a shop with chill vibes, with a short and simple menu. The tofu skin was really good.
