Bell Cafe
Bell Cafe is a small, cozy eatery near Nikko's temples serving traditional shojin ryori, a Japanese monk's diet centered around yuba tofu. The menu features vegetable tempura, pilaf, and vegetable noodles, with vegan set meals that delight visitors seeking subtle, home-style flavors. Though miso soup typically includes fish stock, the kitchen accommodates vegan requests by substituting seaweed broth, and the venue is known for its friendly staff and cash-only policy.
