Full Description

At three highly regarded ramen shops in Sapporo, you’ll enjoy 3 completely different bowls of ramen—each selected to highlight a distinct style and flavor profile.
Between tastings, your ramen expert guide will explain ramen in a clear, practical way: key soup components, how noodles and toppings change the experience, how locals order and customize, and how to spot differences from bowl to bowl. The tour is designed as a true comparison tasting, so you don’t just “eat ramen”—you learn how to evaluate it.
The tour takes place in central Sapporo, with stops and walking segments through lively areas such as Susukino and Tanukikoji.
SAPPORO Route Ramen (Example Lineup):
Shop 1: Seafood-based ramen (umami-forward fish/seafood profile)
Shop 2: Shamo (game fowl) ramen or tsukemen (dipping noodles)
Shop 3: Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen or Iekei-style(pork bone + soy sauce) ramen
Please note: many ramen shops use chicken, pork, and/or fish in their soup and toppings.
