Great tour with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide, Sam. All the stops were well chosen, and the ramen was top notch. Great variety, very interesting, and delicious. Would recommend to anyone!
We learned and tasted vastly different kinds of ramen…so much more than we get in NYC. Sam, our tour guide, is a ramen savant and taught us so much.
The ramen was VERY tasty and I would definently go on this tour again, or a tour by the same company again if I went to another city. If I go back to Japan, I will most probably do something with them again.
We are a family of 5, with teenaged children, and had a fantastic tour with Olivier. It was super hot in Japan when we did the tour but it did not affect our ramen eating abilities at all. Olivier was very knowledgeable, not only about ramen, but about Japan as well. The chosen spots were curated and you are tasting the best of the best. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful food tour with Makayla. She did a wonderful job of explaining the history of not just Ramen but food in Tokyo in a way we weren’t even aware we were learning. Hee conversational and friendly approach to being a food tour guide makes her exceptional in a world filled with many, many food tour options.
I loved this tour and our tour guide, Sahori was so energetic and passionate! The ramen portions were generous too!
We went to 3 different locations to taste 2 ramen dishes at each spot. The tour is long; we took the train to get to one spot. Each dish was a generous size; bring your appetite. Bunga, our guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about ramen. Great time!
Olivier was a awsome host!! It was our first night inTokyo and we were super tired but this was a great introduction to authentic Ramen dishes. Olivier was extremely knowledgeable about the different ingredients and flovors of all of the tastings. We would definately recommend this tour!
Sahori is energetic, expressive, and knowledgeable on all things ramen. Goes out of her way to go beyond. I think she even took a partial shift at one of the ramen shops when other customers thought she worked there and she was passing orders back to the workers (maybe I misread the situation). Talk about dedication.
When signing up for this, part of me thought this would be gimicky and we would be going to chain restaurants, but no, these were indeed small local shops allowing us to try small portions as part of this tour.
The options of types of ramens were impressive. 3 shops, 12 different potentials (with you getting 6 mini bowls throughout the tour or 1.5 fulls bowls of ramen aggregated). You can also order extras like beer for a surcharge if you want (It was only like 400 yen).
You also get to see more of the city. You start in the heart of Shibuya and work your way to the outskirts which I liked.
Overall, great tour, would recommend to anyone that likes ramen.
This was a fantastic experience. It ended up being one-on-one, which made it feel very relaxed and personal.
We visited three very different ramen spots, all excellent, with some background and history on each style. The portions are on the smaller side, which works well—you can try more if you come hungry.
Great conversation throughout, and a really enjoyable way to spend the evening in Shibuya. Highly recommend.
Very fun walking through streets of Tokyo to places you would not know to go and trying all types of ramen. Brian was our guide and did a great job explaining the history of ramen. A great tour for the ramen lovers.
Makayla was an guide ✨️ we learned so much about the history of Ramen and the different types, so much so my partner and I learned which one was our favorite for future trips! The lortions were small thay we were able to taste each place without feeling too full and ever dish had its unique flavor and personality. She had so much passion for food and the for the area, we got to explore so much of Shinjuku because of her. I absolutely loved her and would come back again for any other tour with her ❤️
My family and I had a great time! It was really cool getting to try so many types of ramen in one outing - really allows you to compare and experience the differences in the various ramen styles/flavors. We also learned a ton! Our guide Brian was so knowledgeable, engaging, and personable - we had a lot of fun chatting and exploring the shibuya area with him. Highly recommend!!
We had a lovely Ramen Tour with Brian. He picked some very interesting spots and shared how history shaped the various styles. If you see a green Ramen, try it! Fun fact: Slurping your Ramen is polite!
What a wonderful, educational and DELICIOUS way to eat and learn about the origins of ramen! I had no idea that there was so much history and culture associated with this dish! Come prepared to eat, walk and learn! And if you’re lucky enough to get BRIAN as your guide, even better!
The ramen tasting is the perfect introduction to the ramen scene in Tokyo. In this tour you get the original flavors along with some culinary choices you may not otherwise experience. Brian was an incredible guide with the personality and knowledge to make for a great evening.
My two adult sons and I participated in this ramen tasting tour. The ramen was wonderful and trying 6 different varieties was really fun (and tasty!) Our guide, Makayla, was friendly, talkative and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed the strolls between the restaurant stops. Chatting with Makayla and hearing about her experiences in Tokyo was a highlight of the tour that I hadn’t anticipated, but one that I truly appreciated. Thanks Makayla!
Sahori was an amazing guide! And we had so much food! And learned so much about ramen! Definitely highly recommended!
This review is delayed but definitely can’t deny that this was the most memorable tour we had in Tokyo. Bunga was so fun and informative. A bit pricey but worth it since we got to sample so many different ramen bowls. Delicious!
Delicious Ramen Tour! Brian was an excellent guide giving us lots of Ramen and local history. Fun way to see different parts of Tokyo and sample traditional and unique varieties of Ramen! Highly recommend
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brian was an excellent guide—informative, engaging, and clearly very passionate about ramen. He did a great job explaining the differences between styles, ingredients, and neighborhoods, which made the experience feel thoughtful rather than rushed.
The food itself was fantastic. Each mini bowl was delicious and distinct, and it was the perfect way to try multiple styles without feeling overwhelmed. This tour deepened my appreciation for ramen, and I can’t wait to dig into even more ramen while I’m in Tokyo. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food or wants a great introduction to Tokyo’s ramen scene.
Was absolutely amazing experience! Bunga was super patient helping me to navigate the shubiya station and shared a wealth of knowledge about ramen! All samples were very flavorful and distinct. I loved every minute of that. And they did not nag me to leave the review, I liked it so much so I feel that I have to recommend it to all my friends and everyone who is exploring Japan!
Sahori was amazing! Very friendly, very knowledgeable and took us to amazing places to try different ramen. I would highly recommend this tour and her as your guide.
After eating so much ramen, I wanted to understand more about the different types that Japan has to offer. This was a great way to learn and try delicious spots. Good amount of walking between bowls. Highly recommend!
Sahori was great! She gave me and my mom a very nice and intimate tour. It was just us too and Sahori so we were able to ask all the questions we wanted. Thank you so much for the tour Sahori, you're the best!
This was so fun . Especially if you go as a pair then you get to try every type of ramen ( all 12) . Loved this ! Mikayla was so sweet
It’s a lot of ramen, so come hungry! We had such a fun tour with Manny. He educated us on the types of ramen and where they came from. The three stops had very different types of ramen and since I am someone who never knows which ramen to order, this tour was perfect. We were able to taste many different kinds and the tour came with two drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), so that was a bonus. Manny was entertaining and the tour was well worth it!
The experience was amazing. We had Brian as our guide and he very informative and happily answered all questions that we had. It was a great time from beginning to end.
Sahori, our guide, was excellent. The ramen was delicious and the walking wasn’t too bad. Would highly recommend!
Absolutely loved this tour! All of the ramen was excellent and each shop had different options. I was impressed by the variety in choices. Sahori was top notch, extremely friendly, full of energy, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour and wish we had time to do the other tours they offer!
