A Day Inside Japan’s Ramen Obsession
Not just eating ramen.
Understanding it, at the highest level.

Travel in a private luxury vehicle.
Access places you would never find alone.
End the day at one of Tokyo’s most exclusive counters.

TRUSTED BY TOP CHEFS & GLOBAL FOOD INSIDERS
EAT WITH THE WORLD’S LEADING RAMEN EXPERT
What This Day Feels Like
This is a carefully orchestrated progression — not a list of stops.
Each bowl, each location, each moment is chosen to build your understanding of ramen — from its history to its highest expressions.
You won’t just eat better ramen.
You will understand why it is great.
Meet Abram — The Ramen Beast
For nearly two decades, Abram Plaut has been obsessed with one thing: ramen.
He has eaten thousands of bowls across Japan, studied the craft deeply, and built relationships with chefs that few outsiders will ever have.
With him, this is not a food crawl.
It is insight, context, and access — at a level that transforms how you experience every bowl.
A Ramen Day For The Ages
Morning — Foundations
Begin at the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, where ramen history comes alive and sets the stage for everything that follows.
Midday — The Hunt
A curated sequence of ramen stops — each chosen for a reason.
Different broths. Different techniques. Different philosophies.
This is where ramen becomes a language.
Afternoon — The Contrast
A refined kakigori stop — light, delicate, and refreshing.
Because even the deepest ramen journey needs balance.

Evening — Fire & Finale
Dinner at the impossible-to-book Makitori Shinkobe.
An intimate counter. Fire-driven cooking.
Fully booked to the end on 2027
This is where the day reaches its peak.
This Is Built on Relationships.
Anyone can recommend ramen.
Very few can guide you through it.
This experience exists because of years spent in Japan — building trust, sharing meals, and earning access.
When you walk into these places, you are not just another guest.
Designed For
People who are obsessed with food
Travelers who want access, not recommendations
Those who believe ramen can be as deep as fine dining
Friends who want to share something unforgettable
If that sounds like you, you will feel at home here.
A Day You Will Talk About For Years
The bowls will stay with you.
But more than that — the conversations, the laughter, the shared moments.
This is what The Hungry Tourist is really about.
