The tour begins at a cozy café where guests gather for a warm cup of coffee or tea. During this introductory session, the guide shares insights into the origins of Kyoto ramen, its regional variations, and the cultural influences that have shaped its development over time. Participants are also introduced to the two carefully selected ramen shops that will be visited during the experience.

I dinned in and got the Tonkotsu Ramen and a Tiger beer. The ramen was excellently flavored. The pork, divine, the watercress and cilantro added a nice touch, and the egg was cooked perfectly. The server was kind and on point. I would recommend and would come back.
