Master The Art Of Ramen With A Customizable Tasting Tour Through Shinjuku


Join Tokyo's premier ramen tasting experience, designed for those who want to sample a wide variety of flavors in a single outing. By utilizing mini bowls that are one-quarter the size of a standard serving, you can taste six distinct types of ramen across three award-winning shops. This unique format allows you to explore the vast spectrum of Japanese noodle culture, from light, salt-based chicken broths to rich, creamy pork bone varieties, all in one session.


The tour offers a highly customizable experience, allowing you to select your six bowls from a menu of twelve options. This interactive approach ensures that your tasting journey is tailored to your personal preferences while still providing a comprehensive overview of regional styles. As you move between shops, you will learn about the history and future of ramen, the intricacies of its preparation, and the proper etiquette for eating like a local in Japan.


Starting in the bustling district of Shinjuku, the route takes you through some of the city's most iconic ramen destinations before concluding in either Ebisu or Akasaka-Mitsuke. Please note that this tour involves approximately three kilometers of walking, making it best suited for those with a moderate level of physical fitness. Because all broths contain chicken, pork, and fish, this specific tour is designed for meat-eaters, with alternative options available for those with dietary restrictions.


This three-hour deep dive into noodle culture provides more than just a meal; it offers a complete education on one of Japan's most famous dishes. You will gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in creating the perfect bowl, from the texture of the noodles to the complexity of the broth. By the end of the tour, you will have developed the expertise to navigate any ramen shop in Japan with confidence and ease.

These tours are amazing! I book a tour with Food Tours Tokyo every time I come to Japan. All of their tours are well organized and fun. I highly recommend the Ebisu Hidden Cocktail Bar Tour. Brian is a fantastic tour guide! The bars are fun, unusual, and very hard to find on your own. Food Tours Tokyo aka 5am Ramen is a great company to work with and they are solo friendly! Brian ran the tour even though I was the only person signed up for it and he was really fun to hang out with. The experience with Brian was so good that I signed up for his Shinjuku Izakaya tour for the end of my trip and I am happy that I did. His Japanese is impressive and he is very knowledgeable about Japan. Any of the tour guides are a great resource for questions that you didn't think you would have until you actually get to Tokyo. It may be helpful to have WhatsApp set up before arriving in Japan since it is one of the tour guide's contact methods.

As a cocktail enthusiast, I was very excited to learn that this kind of tour exists in Tokyo!! Especially with the amount of good bars to visit, it can be overwhelming to know which one to go to. I had no idea on what to expect within the three hour tour, but oh boy it went by super fast and I had so much fun. Brian, our guide, was very informative throughout the tour. Whether it be a question about the bar, cocktails, or even suggestions with Tokyo, he got you and really makes sure for you to have a good time. We toured four bars in Ebisu, four different vibes, but intentionally and perfectly picked out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates a good night roaming around the city, have love for cocktails and experience to be a part of the local's night life. Hoping for this tour to spread and have it in different neighborhoods of Tokyo, that would be really amazing and definitely something to look forward to!!
