Dining Experiences

It was an amazing experience to see all of the little details that are put into making great Ramen. Each detail and step was explained to us and we were able to try each ingredient individually to give us a better idea of how it all comes together. If you are interested in understanding how a great bowl of ramen comes together this is a must do tour!

The experience is speechless and incredible, the step by step tasting help me to understand how the layering of ramen stock become so tasty, where I gained more understanding about umami. You also get a chance to make your own mini ramens as well as a bowl (or two smaller bowls of ramen with 500 yen top up) plus the special dish which incorporates ramen toppings and French cuisine techniques. What a wonderful time spending at the shop. If I really had to suggest only one flavor, the shouyu one is my pick.

A really fun evening. The food is great and the sumo show is very entertaining.

Tomoko greeted us at the door and was very friendly, gracious and kind, despite that we were obviously foreign. We had a group of three and only I spoke a little Japanese . After greeting us, she took us upstairs, had a spot where we could place our belongings and saw that she had already set up three different stations for us. She asked for a group picture first-which we were happy to oblige, asked where we were from and then we jumped right in. All instructions and the entirety of the tour was in Japanese. However, we had no trouble understanding and communicating with each other. If anything, it added more to the experience and surprisingly, made it more enjoyable. There were no awkward silences or moments of confusion. Tomoko took cues from our body language and facial expressions as we did hers and it was a phenomenal experience! Portions were generous and she served cold, refreshing tea that she diligently refilled each time our glasses got close to being empty. Tomoko did everything herself. From setting up the stations to teaching and guiding the tour and breaking down each station while we were enjoying our meals. She was efficient but also attentive to our needs. At the end of our experience, she gifted us with handmade boxes made of obi and tins of ceremonial green tea. She also gave us a bonus item she called "a gift" which was a place mat she made from kimono. We loved our tour with Tomoko and I recommend everyone experience this. You will not regret it!

Very good ! The Host was amazing, it was very interesting ! Mitsuyo Hamada was amazing, nice, give us a lots of information ! Very patience ! Now we understand more the way of Ramen ! It was a good moment. Thank you very much ! Merci beaucoup !

Very interesting to hear more of the art of broth making and how to compose your perfect ramen. Best ramen we have had in Japan! They even helped us with our planning for the rest of the day with useful activities for a rainy day. Super!

It was a fabulous experience, and definitely worth the price. The meal was artistically prepared and presented, and the server accommodated my dietary requests with substitutions once I saw the menu. The lady who performed and instructed the tea ceremony was very sweet; I can't imagine how many wagashi she has to eat every day! I will recommend to any friends who visit Tokyo.

Wow. I cannot give enough superlatives to the wonderful wagyu beef,dining experience. Our guide showed us Kyoto nighttime sites after the dinner. What a plus!!!! You need to book this.

We enjoyed the tour very much! Felt like a specialized Japan only experience which is what we wanted. The ramen was delicious snd the staff was so friendly!

I absolutely loved this experience! My favorite. This really a one of a kind experience and can’t wait to tell more people I know about it.

The tour was simply amazing and very detailed. Got to try the components that go into the ramen broth and the various elements of layering that build the final piece. Mitsuyo was an amazing host and answered all questions we had along the way.

Interesting experience. Really enjoyed the first part, not a big fan of watching the challengers, but i understand where it's coming from. We left shortly after the challengers. The food was above expectations (compared with other similar experiences in Tokyo).
