Super Great time with Bruce, he ensured the evening stayed joyful, fun and engaging! It was not awkward and he was insightful, friendly and made us feel so welcomed! His warm and knowledgable approach made the food tour amazing for my family and I. Take note, I had 3 elderly and 5 adults! He managed it all with grace and poise and I thank you again for an evening to remember, SEE YOU AGAIN BRUCE! thank you

I was lucky enough to be the only person on the night I went so basically had a private tour with Bruce. He certainly proved his knowledge of the Fukuoka food scene - we were, due to unforeseen circumstances, in a different area to where we were originally due to meet but this didn't put Bruce off, we were still able to sample excellent food at a number of fantastic locations. Definitely a recommended tour.

This was first experience with Yati and Keiji stall. Followed him on you tube….he is by far the most talented free-style chef in this type of setting. We had several of his core dishes, to include a special nabe - delicious- his menu is extensive if you have the chance book him - you can’t go wrong, since he guaranteed to be there. Unlike other stalls that may or may not be there.

Bruce and Ling were great, knowledgeable guides! We booked the izakaya and ramen tour and they showed us some great hidden spots we never would have thought to visit, and the food was excellent. Recommend booking a tour at the start of your stay in Fukuoka so they can provide other recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit.

It was great meeting Bruce; the conversation was easy. It was interesting to hear his perspective, as he has lived in Japan for nearly forty years. The restaurants we visited were top-notch. Both were off the beaten path; it is difficult to imagine finding them on my own.

If I could give Bruce thousands of stars for a review I would! Bruce texted us in the USA shortly after we booked our food tour. He continued to check in on us several times before our tour. When we met Bruce in person he seemed like a long lost friend. He is fluent in English and Japanese. My husband uses a cane and he made sure the walking wasn’t too much for him. We started our tour in a quaint restaurant that he made a reservation for. It’s one of those places that you would NEVER find unless you knew it was there. We enjoyed salad, sashimi and fried chicken. It was all AMAZING!!! We finished our evening at a Hakata ramen restaurant. Really good! The next morning he texted us to wish us well on a day trip we had planned. I told him we had to cancel because I lost my medication on our travels. Without it I get physically ill. Not only did Bruce find me a doctor to get my medication. He actually picked me and my husband up at our hotel!!! After I got my meds, we all went to lunch and finished the afternoon at the Fukuoka gyoza festival! We will NEVER forget his kindness and caring as well as an amazing culinary experience. I feel as though we made a friend for life and will return to Fukuoka someday😊

What to Expect on a Ramen Night Tour

Each ramen night tour is carefully curated to offer a memorable culinary exploration. Participants can expect a warm welcome and personalized service as they are taken to different ramen hotspots across the city. Expert guides, often locals with a deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine, are there to answer questions and introduce you to unique ramen recipes and lesser-known venues. Tours usually start with an introductory session on various types of ramen and their regional variations, setting the stage for the cuisine you are about to explore. From there, you'll visit multiple stops where you can sample and enjoy a variety of ramen bowls. These tours can include learning sessions where participants can see how the noodles are made and even try their hand at creating their own bowl under the guidance of experienced chefs.
