Yuwaeru prides itself on its brown rice, and other traditional, healthy dishes. Lunch is teishoku (set meal) cafeteria-style: grab a tray and follow the directions (in English) to pick you main, sides, soup and rice. In the evening (cover charge ¥350), it's small plates (like deep-fried yam) or mains (like salt-grilled seasonal fish) to go with sake and craft beer.
