Ultimate Ramen Tasting Tour in Ueno (3 Hours)
Where Tokyo’s Ramen Roots Meet Regional Flavor
At three award-winning ramen shops, you’ll taste 6 completely different mini bowls — from rich Kyushu-style tonkotsu to modern Tokyo chicken-based broths and contemporary tsukemen. These quarter-size bowls are exclusive to the tour, letting you explore widely without getting too full too fast. Best of all, you’ll build your own lineup by choosing 6 bowls from a curated selection of 12 varieties.
Between stops, we’ll unpack what you’re tasting — from regional traditions to modern techniques — as we explore Nezu and Central Ueno, two neighborhoods that reflect Tokyo’s older, more local side.

About Ueno
Ueno is home to Ueno Park — one of Tokyo’s most beloved green spaces — and carries a slower, more local rhythm than districts like Shibuya or Shinjuku. Wander through the nostalgic lanes of Ameyoko Market, where street vendors and old-school shops create a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere. It’s a neighborhood where tradition and everyday Tokyo life still shine — and where some seriously good ramen quietly thrives.
