1. Ramen Tasting - Mini Bowl Ramen Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 6 reviews
Join Tokyo's first ever Ramen Tasting Tour! The variety of ramen you'll experience is only possible because all ramen are served in mini bowls. These mini bowls are tour-exclusive and are 1/4th to 1/3rd the size of full ramen. You'll taste 6 wildly different types of delicious ramen at 3 award-winning ramen shops. You even get to choose the 6 ramen from 11 types, via fun, customizable menus. Each ramen boasts unique flavors - whether a salty and spicy fish ramen, or a creamy and savory pork bone ramen. Furthermore, you'll learn all about ramen during the 3 hours - its history and future, how it's prepared, and how to eat it like a true local. Experience ramen like you've never before! * We can request the ramen shops to remove any meat toppings. But please note that all broths are blended with some meat.
Inclusions: Food tasting, Local guide, 3-course lunch

I highly recommend the 5AM Ramen Tour to anyone who eats food. Not only were we treated to a dozen delicious bowls of mini ramen, but spending 3 hours with Frank, our fearless tour guide who took every precaution necessary and braved a pandemic to educate us about ramen, was quite possibly the most entertaining 3 hours I've had in the past 4 months. Full disclosure: I've known Frank since I was 3 years old. So, on our tour, I imagine Frank brought his A-Game. His deep expertise with regards to ramen was evident by well-thought out answers from the group's tough questions. Not only that, Frank deftly evaded heckling from the crowd (me) with humor and poise that made one feel ashamed for actually attempting to do so. A group of 9 of us scheduled the three-hour tour with stops in three different ramen stores in the Nakameguro, Ebisu and Shibuya area. Between the 9 of us, we have over 200 combined years of ramen eating experience, yet none of us have ever been to any of the 3 stores on the tour. Additionally, our minds were stimulated with fun facts about the history of ramen and prognosis of the trends of the Japanese noodle-soup in the post-pandemic future. Honestly, the price had been a slight deterrent in the past, but for a food tour, this was money well spent. The shop selection was excellent and surprisingly they were very flexible in accommodating to our requests. Each restaurant has a selection of four mini bowls, from which one person choses two. I highly recommend going with a partner so you can try all four from each store, which is why we tasted a dozen different bowls of ramen. At the last restaurant, we were given a special treat with a limited-time-only offer of 5 additional choices. Whether you are a local or visitor, Frank's 5AM Ramen Tour is a must-do regardless of whether we're in a pandemic or not.

Allow your host to introduce you to the quirky underbelly of one of the world’s most wonderful and outlandish cities as you go to places like the Museum of Parasites (informative, and slightly crawly, we admit) or the crazy, committed cosplay districts like Akihabara.

Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You'll also agree on a meeting time and place.

We booked a food tour with Stephanie for our last night in Tokyo and it was one of the highlights of our wonderful Japan trip.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
