Great experience and food!
The tour was really cool! The 4 kinds of ramen we’ve tried were super delicious, it was my first time trying dipping ramen. Bunga was a fun guide, thank you!

Description
Join Tokyo's best Vegan/Vegetarian Ramen Tasting Tour! You'll get to enjoy 4 mini bowls of carefully crafted ramen - all vegan, with non-vegan broth options available for each. Partially gluten-free options are also available, with gluten-free noodles offered at each stop, making the tour flexible for a variety of dietary preferences. The tour takes you to two standout ramen shops in Shibuya and Shinjuku (we'll take the train!): one specializing in authentic Hokkaido-style ramen, the other in classic Tokyo tsukemen (dipping ramen). Along the way, you'll learn about ramen's regional roots and why Tokyo and Hokkaido have played such important roles in shaping the dish's history.

Vegan Ramen
Such an informative and wonderful experience. Brian is a really friendly and kind guide. We loved that there was variety in each type of ramen and enjoyed learning about the history of everything from the broth and noodles to the toppings.

Not worth the Value
I want to first say that our tour guide was excellent. My review rating is based on the content of the tour, in relation to the cost. I’ve done lots of these tours in different countries and this by far was the least provided. We paid just shy of $354 for 4 adults. We went to two locations where 2 mini bowls of noodles were provided at each location. I don’t think this tour was valuable. I would not recommend.

Tour Review: Vegan Ramen Tour This tour was great. I’m glad it was the first activity we booked when we arrived in
This tour was great. I’m glad it was the first activity we booked when we arrived in Japan. Our tour guide, Sahori, was amazing and provided us with some fascinating information on the history of ramen. We visited two places, both of which became my favorites. In fact, I enjoyed the first location so much that I visited it again the next day. I would totally recommend booking this tour at the start of your visit. Please tip your guides. It’s not expected but definitely makes a nice gesture.

Delicious vegan ramen and great company
We went on the ramen tasting tour with Frank in mid -May and it was fantastic. Sadly we immediately realised that the ramen we'd been having at home was lacklustre and insipid... :( Frank was very friendly and easy to chat to - vital for two introverts like ourselves. Along with learning a lot about ramen (and eating lots of tasty ramen) we chatted about Lord of the Rings and Star Trek and life in Tokyo. I would definitely recommend this tour - it also took all of the stress out of finding great vegan ramen on our first night in Tokyo!
