Nikko Hoshi-no-Yado, an inn located on a hill overlooking the mountains of Nikko, where you can enjoy hot springs and kaiseki cuisine, is now offering a new dining menu.
The “Sake and Wine Pairing” is a new dining menu that combines “KSISEKI,” a meal course featuring Nikko’s signature dish “Yuba” (bean curd skin), with seasonal dishes.
We hope you will enjoy a rich dinner time with a small selection of various drinks to match your meal and menu.
Kaiseki cuisine is a traditional style of dining that utilizes Japanese ingredients and has strict rules and manners.
However, as customers’ lifestyles and tastes change with the times, we believe that this style should be changed.
KAISEKI” is a new style that mixes “Japanese” and “Western” ingredients, and has been highly praised by our customers.
Yuba is made by boiling down soy milk and pulling up the membrane that forms on the surface. Kyoto yuba is made by pulling up the membrane in a single layer, while Nikko yuba is made by folding it in two from the center.
The difference in the way the yuba is pulled is the difference in thickness and texture, and the unique crunchy texture of Nikko’s yuba can be enjoyed.
At Hoshi-no-Yado, guests can make their own yuba.
Because KAISEKI of Nikko Hoshi no Yado has a western flavor, it goes well with not only Japanese sake but also wine.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
