Nikko Yuba Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
"Nikko yuba" born from carefully-selected soybeans and Nikko's clean water — accompanying any dish.
Nikko Yuba Manufacturing Co., Ltd. — based in the headquarters factory in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, and the factory direct sales store in Inokura, Nikko City — is a specialty maker manufacturing, wholesaling, and selling yuba products that leverage the flavor of nature-nurtured soybeans and Nikko's clean water. Broadly developing from home products like Sashimi Yuba, Agemaki Yuba, Komaki Yuba, and Ita Yuba — to commercial frozen yuba for restaurants and side dish makers — to creative side dishes like Yuba Tofu Nuggets and Yuba Tofu Shumai. Through direct sales stores, the online shop, and factory tours — delivering "Nikko's specialty product yuba" to dining tables nationwide.
Why We Love It
A maker making "yuba" — with the image of a luxury ingredient served at high-end restaurants — more familiar. Of course the freshness of the direct-sales-store-distinctive "Sashimi Yuba" — also the dried-type "Matsukawa Yuba" stores well — just by adding to miso soup, daily meals are upgraded. The open stance also accepting factory tours — feels absolute confidence in quality.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
Nikko Yuba Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a specialty maker born from the thought of wanting to deliver "yuba" — known as Nikko's specialty — to more people in a more familiar form. With two bases — Honshu's leading tourist destination Nikko, and the prefectural capital Utsunomiya — the headquarters factory handles the consistent system from manufacturing to shipping, and the Nikko factory direct sales store handles direct contact with tourists and local customers.
Since founding — what the company has held to — commitment to "carefully-selected soybeans" and "clean water." Selecting soybeans emphasizing flavor and sweetness — and using quality water nurtured by Nikko's nature for preparation. Washing soybeans, soaking overnight to squeeze soy milk, and pulling up yuba spread on the hot liquid surface sheet by sheet by hand — while cherishing such old-style methods — continuing making while incorporating modern hygiene management and equipment.
As home products — Sashimi Yuba, Agemaki Yuba, Komaki Yuba, Ita Yuba, and dried yuba — developing a lineup widely usable for simmered, fried, hot pot, dressed, and vinegared dishes. As souvenirs for tourists visiting Nikko — and as ingredients when you want to slightly luxuriate daily dining tables — has been long loved.
Meanwhile — also focusing on product development easy to handle at professional sites: commercial products for restaurants and side dish makers, and creative side dish series based on yuba and tofu. Frozen side dishes "dashi-deciding yuba simmered dish" and "thin-roll yuba simmered dish," plus "Yuba Tofu Nuggets" and "Yuba Tofu Shumai" — highly evaluated as items providing authentic yuba cuisine casually.
Also — through accepting Nikko factory tours and antenna shop exhibitions within station buildings — broadly transmitting the appeal of "Nikko yuba" and ways to enjoy soybean and yuba culture. Also in food education and tourism promotion aspects — continuing region-rooted activities.
Going forward — Nikko Yuba Manufacturing Co., Ltd. — while connecting traditional techniques and modern needs — through healthy and delicious yuba products — will deliver "Nikko's blessings" to dining tables nationwide.
Carefully-selected soybeans and Nikko's clean water
What Nikko Yuba Manufacturing cherishes above all — commitment to raw materials. Using carefully-selected domestic soybeans with rich flavor and sweetness — and clean water flowing in from the Nikko mountain range — making yuba where soybean's original deliciousness and aroma live. Without adding excess — being able to taste the material's own deep flavor — is the feature of "Nikko Yuba Manufacturing's" yuba.
A wide lineup — from home use to commercial use
In addition to Sashimi Yuba, Agemaki Yuba, Komaki Yuba, Ita Yuba, and dried yuba — casually enjoyable at home — also developing many products matched to use: frozen yuba side dishes usable as-is like "dashi-deciding yuba simmered dish" and "thin-roll yuba simmered dish," and commercial frozen yuba and creative side dishes for restaurants, hotels, and inns. From daily dining tables to professional sites — the scenes where "Nikko yuba" is active are diverse.
Freshly-made flavor delivered through the factory direct sales store and online shop
Within the Nikko factory grounds — adjoining a direct sales store selling fresh yuba shipped directly from the factory and popular products. If you stop by during sightseeing or driving — you can encounter freshly-made flavor and limited products unique to it. At the online shop — mail-order possible combining refrigerated, frozen, and room-temperature products — from home sets to gift assortments.
Learning yuba making sites at factory tours
At the Nikko factory — preparing a factory tour program to closely observe yuba-making processes. While watching through glass as soybeans become soy milk and yuba spread on the hot liquid surface is scooped up sheet by sheet — can learn about Nikko yuba's history and commitment. Also a popular spot for school trips, social studies tours, and family outings.
Healthy "Sousai Series" fitting modern dining tables
Also developing creative side dishes easy to incorporate into modern dining tables: combining yuba, tofu, and vegetables — like "Yuba Tofu Nuggets," "Yuba and Vegetable Fluffy Tofu," and "Yuba and Vegetable Tofu Burger" — and "Yuba Tofu Shumai." Can be enjoyed as healthy and satisfying side dishes and snacks — with simple cooking like frying, steaming, and grilling.
