About this place
The wraps at yuppa use Kyoto-style fresh yuba—soy milk skin—instead of tortillas, making them an appealing option for a light meal built around this delicate ingredient. One diner’s report on the lemon chicken describes a generous filling of garlic multigrain rice, broccoli, pumpkin, cucumber, kakuni-style wheel-shaped wheat gluten, and salt-seasoned lemon chicken. The flavours of the ingredients came through against restrained seasoning, they said, while the bright lemon sauce worked particularly well with the chicken. Another noted that the yuba wrap felt light without being insubstantial. The lemon chicken may suit diners looking for a high-protein option; for lunch with vegetables and rice, the mix of fillings is another useful guide.
The menu also features ORIGINAL MAZESOBA, which one diner remembered for its kakuni-style wheel-shaped wheat gluten. It is listed on its own, as well as in sets with vegetable soup or a drink. The soup set is one way to make the meal more substantial, while the standalone dish keeps things simple. A diner who ordered the soup set remarked that it came with plenty of vegetables. The menu also lists Yuppa Vegetable Soup, a standalone option to pair with a wrap or mazesoba.
Other choices include AVOCADO SALMON & CREAM CHEESE and OHBA MENTAI CHICKEN, whose names offer a hint of their flavour profiles. One pair ordered different fillings, then cut their wraps to share. They were told that the fillings might not be evenly distributed after cutting and agreed to proceed; it’s a useful approach for anyone keen to sample more than one flavour. For dessert, there is soy milk parfait from tofu shop Saga Hirakawaya. The menu lists the parfait on its own, as well as a set with soy milk soft serve and a drink. There are options for a meal wrapped in yuba, or for adding dessert at the end.
