Choosing a meal in Tochigi
Tochigi’s two familiar foods point to different towns. Look for yuba around a Nikko visit and gyoza when you stop in Utsunomiya; neither requires treating the entire prefecture as one restaurant district.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
Leave time for a yuba meal while exploring Nikko. If your trip also takes you through Utsunomiya, gyoza gives you another local meal to look forward to.
