Local Salaryman Tokyo Station Ramen and Izakaya Tour

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: Japanese and 3 more

How does a real Japanese Salaryman (a dedicated corporate employee powering Japan's economy) unwind after work? Join me to experience the authentic food culture that locals love near Tokyo Station!

I’m an active office worker here, not a typical guide. I’ve eaten over 100 bowls of ramen annually for 8 consecutive years. On this private tour, I’ll take your group on my real after-work routine: a perfect journey from a local pub to a top-tier ramen shop.

We start at a lively Izakaya (Japanese pub). Over 2 drinks and 2 snacks (included), we’ll discuss Japanese corporate culture and drinking manners. We’ll also play my "Ramen Game" (Rich or Light?) to find your perfect flavor style.

Then, we head to a great ramen shop. I will fully support you with the ticket machines and custom ordering so you can eat comfortably like a true local!

【BONUS】 Tell me your travel plans! I'll recommend the best regional ramen for other cities you visit.

【Included】 1 ramen, 2 drinks & 2 snacks.
