About this experience

Join Tokyo's only Ramen Tasting Tour (with mini bowls, each 1/4 the size of full bowls)! You'll taste 6 wildly different types of delicious ramen at 3 award-winning ramen shops. You'll even get to choose the 6 ramen from 11-12 types, via fun, customizable menus. Each ramen boasts unique flavors - whether a light, salt-based chicken ramen or a creamy pork bone ramen. Furthermore, you'll learn all about ramen during the 3 hours - its history and future, how it's prepared, and how to eat it like a true local. * The tour starts in Shibuya *OR* Shinjuku *OR* Ueno and ends in Ebisu, Akasaka-Mitsuke, or Ueno. * Please double check your booked route: each meeting point is different (SHIBUYA, SHINJUKU, UENO) * All ramen broths contain chicken, pork, and fish. For vegans or vegetarians, please book our Vegan / Vegetarian Ramen Tasting Tour. * The tour involves a good amount of walking (approximately 3 kilometers, or 1.86 miles) and isn't recommended for people with a low level of fitness.
