We offer a variety of ramen tours to suit different tastes, schedules, and budgets. From multi-stop tasting tours to shorter experiences and specialty options like our Vegan / Vegetarian Ramen Tasting Tour, there’s something for everyone. See the questions below for a full breakdown of how each tour compares. Take a look at our All Tours to find the best fit for your group.

All three follow the same tasting format — 6 mini bowls across 3 shops — but each has its own lineup. Shibuya moves through Hokkaido-style miso, curry ramen, and fusion tonkotsu (pork bone). Shinjuku pairs classic Tokyo shoyu with creative dipping-style ramen, alongside rich wagyu beef ramen. Ueno spans Kyushu-style chicken ramen and champon, an original soupless creation, and dipping ramen ranging from garlic-forward to spicy tantanmen. The right choice comes down to which neighborhood fits your itinerary, or which styles interest you most.

Guests taste 6 completely different mini bowls of ramen, each a quarter the size of a regular bowl, across 3 ramen shops, choosing their lineup from 11 to 12 varieties. Between stops, your guide runs a mini ramen class — covering where each style came from, how it’s evolving today, and how a bowl actually comes together, building a fuller picture of ramen with every stop.

Our Tasting Tours are about eating widely — 6 mini bowls across 3 shops, with versions built for breakfast, late night, and vegan/vegetarian diets. The Ramen Kitchen Experience is different: it's hands-on, working shoulder-to-shoulder with the shop owner to assemble your own bowl inside a real ramen kitchen, with a Q&A included.

Our Tasting Tours start at approximately ¥18,000 per person, tax included, with pricing varying by tour and season.

On your own, one visit means one bowl. Ramen is an unusually diverse food — broth, noodle style, and regional roots vary enormously from shop to shop — so a single bowl only shows you a fraction of it. Our mini-bowl format lets you taste 6 different styles across 3 shops in a few hours, the kind of range that would otherwise take days of separate meals to experience.

Our Breakfast Ramen Tour is built for exactly that — 3 mini bowls at 2 shops in Shinjuku, timed for early mornings before the crowds. If you're up late instead, the Tokyo Night Ramen Crawl covers the same jet-lag-friendly territory after dark.

Yes. Our Vegan / Vegetarian Ramen Tasting Tour follows the same tasting format — 4 mini bowls across 2 shops in Shibuya and Shinjuku — with vegan, vegetarian, or regular broth options at each stop.

We created the mini-bowl tasting format, letting guests taste far more ramen styles in one visit than a single bowl ever could. Our Ramen Kitchen Experience offers something different: genuine kitchen-side access, working directly with shop owners rather than in a cooking-studio setup.That level of access comes from real relationships built over years, run by a team that knows ramen inside and out — guides included.
