Experience The Ultimate Ramen Tasting Adventure Starting From The Heart Of Shinjuku District


Join this specialized three-hour ramen tasting tour that highlights the incredible variety found within Tokyo's noodle shops. Participants visit three award-winning establishments to sample six different mini bowls of ramen, each representing a distinct flavor profile. By utilizing smaller portions, the tour ensures that guests can experience a wide array of ingredients, from delicate salt-based chicken broths to robust and creamy pork bone bases, without the physical limitation of eating multiple full-sized meals.


The tour emphasizes customization, allowing guests to select their six ramen varieties from a menu of twelve unique options. This interactive process is designed to showcase the versatility of ramen preparation and the creativity of local chefs. As guests move between shops, they learn about the history and future of this beloved dish, including the specific techniques used to achieve the perfect noodle texture and the balance of flavors that defines a truly great bowl.


Beyond the food, the experience provides practical knowledge on how to eat ramen like a local, including the cultural significance of slurping and the proper use of condiments. The guide shares stories about the evolution of ramen culture in Japan, providing a deeper context for the dishes being served. This narrative approach helps bridge the gap between a simple meal and a meaningful cultural encounter, making the tour both informative and highly enjoyable.


The route begins in the vibrant Shinjuku area and concludes in either Ebisu or Akasaka-Mitsuke, covering approximately three kilometers of walking. This active pace is intended for those who enjoy exploring the city on foot and are comfortable with a moderate level of physical activity. It is an excellent way to see different facets of Tokyo while indulging in one of the city's most famous culinary traditions in a structured and social environment.

Getting a tour of all the food in the Kyoto Nishiki market area was such an amazing experience!! We had the pleasure of having Leandra as our guide to a variety of tasty and memorable dishes. She explained the origin of each meal and taught us which sake paired well with them too. The atmosphere of each place and the aroma of all the cuisine we had surely made for an unforgettable night. We will definitely be back and we are grateful for Leandra taking her time to show us a Kyoto Night Food Tour!!

The Shinjuku Izakaya tour with Ninja Tour Guide Ms Chizuru (Chi) was a great tour. The selection of the Izakaya were amazing; the food quality and descriptions, as well as the explanation of the history of areas in Shinjuku were all presented excellently. We were very warmly welcomed and greeted by Chi, who helped our group of 10 people get to know each other from the get-go. The time went by quickly as we ate and walked through areas of Shinjuku we wouldn't otherwise have traveled. Having some Okinawa cuisine, Tonkatsu, Japanese Seafood and Sake and finally Wagyu and Sake Pairing with the finale of Hojicha Ice Cream. As the tour came to an end, and as we departed, we were pleased, satisfied and a bit more acquainted with Shinjuku. We highly recommend Ninja Tours, and especially with Chi as your guide. A big thank you to Chi and Ninja Tours.
