Embark on a 2-hour guided tour through Fukuoka’s lively Tenjin and Nakasu districts, the heart of the city's ramen culture. Famed as the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, Fukuoka is home to two iconic ramen styles: Nagahama and Hakata ramen. Nagahama ramen features thin noodles and a rich, hearty tonkotsu broth, often served in quick street stalls. Hakata ramen, with slightly thicker, flat noodles and a lighter, clearer broth, offers a distinct flavor inspired by hot pot broths.

On this tour, you’ll visit renowned ramen shops in both districts, sampling the unique flavors of each ramen style while learning about their history and cultural significance. Experience the bustling atmosphere of Fukuoka’s food scene and immerse yourself in the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, a global culinary sensation. Whether you’re a ramen enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this tour provides a delicious introduction to Fukuoka’s rich food heritage.

    Fun night with our guide, Morry, who delighted us with magic tricks while also introducing us to two of the best ramen restaurants in town.. He made recommendations of what we should try, took care of the ordering and paying, and kept us entertained with great conversation. We tried traditional ramen, grilled ramen, and several other local dishes. We left sooooooo full! Would highly recommend!!!
