You’ll find people in Tokyo eating ramen during or after a big night out; the neon streets of Shinjuku district are full of ramen-ya amongst the izakaya and karaoke bars… beer and ramen are perfect together and we found some bold and interesting brews from UK, along with Asahi, Kirin and Sapporo from Japan.
