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!

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!
hakim_J, Dec 2025
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.
Erica_T, Nov 2025
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!
Cynthia_T, Nov 2025
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!
Kimberly_M, Nov 2025
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!
Emilio_L, Oct 2025
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.

Diane_T, Sep 2025
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!
Richard_M, Sep 2025
Walked a lot. Learned a lot. Ate a lot. Nothing but amazing things, if you’re new to ramen HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour, especially with Daisy! 12/10 would totally do it again!

Marcela_F, Aug 2025
This was an awesome experience! Makayla was so fun and easy to be around and super knowledgeable about all things ramen! We tried so many different types of ramen we didn’t know existed and went to shops we wouldn’t have found otherwise. So far this has been the highlight of our trip.
Louise_T, Aug 2025

We had a great time on this tour and Makayla was a fantastic guide! We got to try so many more types of ramen than if we had tried on our own.
David_D, Jun 2025
Such a fun tour! Great time going around to different ramen restaurants with Julija and trying multiple types of amazing ramen.
Virginia_S, Jun 2025
Bunga’s Ramen Tasting Tour in Shinjuku was absolutely the best tour our family has ever taken! Everything was fantastic - the three ramen restaurants he took us to offered amazing bowls and wonderful hospitality and a lovely ambiance. Our family of 4 (two teens) had the best time! If you are considering this tour, do not hesitate - just book it! You will not regret it.
TAMIF_A, Jun 2025
Great Food and Great Fun!! Sahori was a wonderful tour guide, filled with fabulous energy and knowledge. We had no idea how diverse the different types of Ramen could be. We highly recommend this tour!!!
Monique_B, Apr 2025

Amazing night, our guide Deep was very knowledgeable
and passionate about the subject. The 3 locations were all amazing, and dietary requirements were addressed without issue.
Kathy_H, Apr 2025
The Ramen tour has chosen 3 great and unique Ramen shops to experience. Our guide Brian Matte was outstanding and very knowledgeable. It turns out that Brian developed a love for Ramen when he was a child living in the U.S.. We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and passionate guide when it comes to Ramen
Teresa_W, Apr 2025
We had a great time. Sahori was engaging and knowledgeable. She made it fun, answered our questions around ramen as well as Tokyo in general. She made sure everyone was comfortable and asked us for our feedback around ever dish we had, No issue with language, spoke fluent English. Definitely would recommend.
