Fantastic Ramen Tasting Tour in Tokyo
Peter G,,Dec 27, 2025

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
Amazing ramen and guides!!

5.00Was 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 is the guide you need for you ramen tour!

5.00It’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!
