With countless possible combinations of noodles, broth, and toppings, it's hard to even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to ramen in Japan, but Abram Plaut, best known for his online alias Ramen Beast, boasts an out-of-the-ordinary ramen knowledge.
Traversing the country in search of unique flavors and aromas, he has washed down over 3,000 ramen meals along the way, enjoying around 300 bowls on average in a given year.
In this tour, ramen expert, critic, and researcher Abram joins forces with local ramen expert Hiroshi, who, hailing from the ramen city of Kitakata, boasts an equally impressive ramen background, to create a dream tour for the ramen lover: a personalized exploration of Tokyo that includes two stops at ramen restaurants tailored to your preferences and requests. Either Abram or Hiyoshi will be the tour guide for the experience, depending on the day.
Looking for a delicious bowl of creamy tonkotsu, or perhaps you'd like to try the famous Sapporo ramen without leaving Japan’s capital? Just inform your preferences upon booking, and your guide will draw from their extensive experience to find the right place for you.
You can enjoy this ramen tour anywhere in Tokyo: just let your host know what meeting point would be most convenient for you upon booking (it can be your hotel lobby), and set out to explore the city together, try two delicious ramen dishes at two restaurants handpicked for you, and learn more about the world’s favorite bowl of Japanese noodles from two leading ramen experts in the country.

We had the best time eating ramen with Abram. He took us to two different restaurants, one very traditional that caters almost exclusively to locals and one more modern and innovative. Both were absolutely fantastic. We had told him ahead of time we liked spicy and he made sure our last stop had lots of heat. I tried “dry“ ramen which I had never even heard of before and became an instant fan. Not only was the food delicious but Abram is a fun guy to hang around with. I absolutely would re...read more
