About Yuba (Soybean milk skin dishes)

Yuba is a traditional ingredient in Nikko and is said to have existed as early as the Nara period. In Nikko, it is written 湯波, while in Kyoto the characters 湯葉 are used. Yuba is the thin film that forms on the surface when soybeans are simmered to make soy milk, so making it requires a large quantity of soybeans. It is used in many dishes, including agemaki yuba (rolled yuba fried in oil) and tsukudani yuba (yuba simmered in a savory sauce). In Nikko, you can enjoy a variety of yuba dishes at restaurants and ryokan inns.
