Ramen Tasting Tour in Tokyo – The Ultimate Experience

How a Ramen Tasting Tour Lets You Explore More Flavors

Tokyo has over 10,000 ramen shops, each with its own take on Japan’s most beloved noodle dish. From century-old classics to bold innovations, the choices can be overwhelming.

Should you go for a light, refined shoyu ramen or a creamy, pork-rich tonkotsu? How do you find the best bowls without spending days hopping between shops?


A Ramen Tasting Tour offers a way to experience multiple ramen styles in one outing, with exclusive mini bowls (1/4 size) and expert insights from ramen specialists.

Why a Ramen Tasting Tour?

With so many ramen styles across Tokyo, the best way to experience them is through side-by-side tasting. Our exclusive mini bowls let you try multiple varieties without feeling too full—something that’s nearly impossible when ordering full-sized bowls.

Explore Three Distinct Ramen Routes

Each of our tour routes is carefully curated to highlight a variety of flavors:

  • Shinjuku – Home to bold flavors, and delicously modern ramen.

  • Ueno – Features traditional ramen (with some twists) and hidden local gems.


Each stop is selected to offer a unique tasting experience, showcasing different styles, broths, and techniques.
