2,006 likesNikko Street Food, Judged by Locals: "The Fried Yuba Manju Is To-Die-For Good" — and 25+ Shops They'd Add
The top comment on a Japanese street-food review of Nikko — 2,006 likes — calls the fried yuba manju "to-die-for good", and the comment section turns into a locals' food map: Nikko-born and Tochigi commenters name-drop 25+ shops and dishes of their own. A 472-like reply is scandalized the reviewer skipped Yuzawaya, whose sake manju it crowns "the best in Japan", locals stage a four-way mizu-yokan rivalry, and a 193-like correction outs Cheese Garden — the polished cheesecake stop — as "actually from Nasu", with Tokyo branches to boot. There's even a 562-like public-service warning about cedar-pollen season at Toshogu. And a few locals quietly point to the picks they'd rather keep to themselves — a yuba rice ball and a crepe stand by the station.
