    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Kamihatsuishimachi 1007
    A restaurant specializing in creative cuisine situated along the Japan Romantic Road in Kamihatsuishi Town, Nikko City. ZEN offers creative dishes using yuba (tofu skin) which is a special product of Nikko. Popular dishes include their Nikko yubamaki with Tochigi wagyu beef and seasonal seafood and vegetables from the prefecture wrapped in yuba, and their Nikko yubamaki course meal made up of many seasonal small dishes of yubamaki (rolled yuba).

    Zen is accurately named. A beautiful, quiet and welcoming family owned restaurant. Absolutely meticulously prepared food all presented on gorgeous pottery from regional artisans.

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
