Get your discount tickets for the Kyoto Ramen Culture Tour: 2-Bowl Tasting Experience, save up to 9% !
Overview
This is not a casual ramen stop — it’s a focused tasting experience designed for true ramen lovers. Instead of eating one bowl and moving on, you will compare two distinct styles side by side, guided by a local who explains broth foundations, regional differences, and Kyoto’s unique place in Japan’s ramen culture. Whether you choose the legendary battleground of Ichijoji, the diverse flavors of Fushimi, or Kyoto Station’s Ramen Koji, this tour is about understanding what makes each bowl different — from rich pork-bone broths to lighter soy-based styles and even sake lees variations. If you’re simply looking for a quick meal, this may not be for you. But if you want to taste, compare, and talk about ramen like a local, this experience delivers depth, flavor, and insight in every bowl.
Meeting and Pickup
If you select the Fushimi option, the meeting point is in front of Seven-Eleven Fushimi Shinmachi 4-chome. Your guide will be waiting with a yellow signboard. Please check the map for details.
