Fantastic 1:1 ramen experience with great variety
Jana S,Apr 18, 2026

5.00This 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...

5.00Very 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.

5.00Makayla 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 ❤️
So much delicious ramen!

5.00Wow! This was such a wonderful experience. My son and I visited three ramen shops and tried 12 exquisite ramens (4 smaller bowls at each stop). Our guide Makayla was fantastic. She knew her stuff, giving detailed descriptions of each bowl (geographical influence, signature ingredients, spice levels, etc.). She was also incredibly personable, friendly and fluent in Japanese and English (native Californian but speaking Japanese since the age of 8). Makayla would be perfect for both the ramen connoisseur or someone wanting an introduction to Japanese food culture. We finished our tour very satisfied. My son and I travelall over the world. This was one of the best food tours we’ve ever done.

5.00My 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!!

5.00We 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!
Ramen Done Right!!!

5.00What 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!
Variety of ramen!

5.00The 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.
A great night eating and chatting!

5.00My 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!
