Bill is an excellent guide. The differences in ramen is amazing. There is a lot of food on this tour, so come hungry and don't fill up early. This is a must do tour in Tokyo.

Arguable the best ramen I’ve tasted in my life! Thoughtfully curated and paced. You start with the foundational flavors which are out of this world. Completely different quality and culinary mastery compared to the ramen shops in the US!! The quality and attention to detail in Japan is totally different. Then you start moving to the more creative interpretations from the foundational flavors. They were surprising and slurpaliciously delicious! The tour is also very informative about the history and styles of ramen and my guide Mikaela was a great host. She shared that the creator of the tour, Frank, eats 400 ramen noodle bowls a year!! Frank then shares some of his favorites in Tokyo on the different tours offered on Viator, each with different itineraries. I joined the Shibuya one and will check out the others next time I’m in Tokyo. Thanks for creating such a memorable culinary adventure!

Great fun in history lesson about Ramen and visiting Shibuys Scramble Crossing! Sahori was our tour guide. She is s native born Japanese. She speaks English fluently with no accent, so she’s easy to understand. She was very nice snd friendly and knowledgeable about Ramen. We went through the Shibuys Scramble Crossing on our way to the first Ramen shop. We visited 3 shops total. -Hokaido based Ramen -Ramen Nagi- the originsl place that nkw has locations in the US. -Ramen curry shop Go as a couple. This way you share 4 mini-bowls of ramen at each restaurant. Each one is s different type of broth. Each store has a different style of noodle. I have been to Ramen Nagi in Palo Alto. The original one tastes better snd hsd more of a variety. It was nice to get 4 varieties at each shop because I would never have ordered that many varieties on my own. The bowls sre mini-bowls, so you have room in your stomach to taste all 12 varieties. We also met two other couples, and it was nice to get different perspectives and learn about their visit to Japan. I highly recommend the tour for ramen lovers. You will taste and enjoy many varieties that you normally don’t eat, and you learn about the history of ramen.

This tour was so much fun! Bunga was really friendly, funny, and clearly extremely passionate about ramen. I learned a lot about the history, how it's made, and what my ramen "profile" is, which will be interesting info to use when we go back home. And to top it off, all of the ramen was amazing. The spicy ramen and burnt garlic were soooo good. There was a decent amount of walking, which we expected, but it added to the experience because we could see a different, more residential side of Tokyo, away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas. Definitely recommend, especially around lunch time.
