In Japan, ramen is more than a tasty bowl of noodles—it is almost like an obsession. We’re talking about perfection in a bowl: a rich broth labored over for hours; fresh, springy wheat noodles; savory, mouthwatering seasonings; and toppings like slices of tender braised meat and creamy soft-boiled egg. But ramen isn’t some high-concept cuisine, and that’s the beauty of it. These noodles can be one of the most amazing things you’ve ever tasted, but this dish is about as down-home and down-to-earth as it gets! You will taste 6(4 for vegan) bowls at three well-selected ramen shops to try out very different styles, basic to trendy! Not only eating is the fun of this tour. The experienced Ramen tour master will take you on a walking tour between shops(eatings) and also offer historical and other ramen trivial that you can bring and be proud of showing off back home!
