Yuba Yūzen
This yuba speciality house serves it sashimi-style, with tofu and soy milk, and with the addition of a variety of seasonal side dishes. There's no English menu, but there are only two choices for sets: ¥2700 if you're hungry and ¥3200 if you're really hungry. Look for the two-storey tan building across from the first left turn after Shin-kyō.

Gyōshintei
Splurge here on deluxe spreads of shōjin ryōri, featuring local bean curd and vegetables served half a dozen delectable ways. The elegant tatami dining room overlooks a carefully tended garden. It's directly north of the Shin-kyō bridge (about 250m) and there's a three-peaked emblem on the door curtain.

Hippari Dako
This three-table shop is an institution among foreign travellers, as years of business cards tacked to the walls testify. It serves filling sets, including tsukune (chicken meatballs) and yaki udon (fried noodles). It's on Rte 119 and has an English sign.

Skylark Gusto
Nikkō's only late-night restaurant is a branch of Skylark, a national chain of 'family restaurants'. It makes up in value and variety what it lacks in individuality. Offerings include pizzas, pasta and tonkatsu (pork cutlet).

Shokudō Suzuki
This tiny joint is strewn with wine bottles, comic books, and autographs from celebrity diners. Equally eclectic is the menu of pasta (get the tarioriini; it's fresh tagliolini) and inventive yuba dishes. Look for the beige building with the giant pasta picture; there are pictures on the menu too.
