Something of a local institution, this long-running shop is located near the southern edge of Aoyama Cemetery, close to the Nishi-Azabu crossing. A favourite of party animals on the way home from Nishi-Azabu or Roppongi, Entotsuya serves not only delicious noodles but also some fine, garlic-flavoured moyashi and sausages. The shoyu ramen, prepared with thin noodles and fried green onions, is simple and makes for a perfect match with the barracks-like surroundings. Don't worry – despite the appearance, the shop won't actually collapse on you (we hope).

Why is it that ramen tastes so damn good after a night out drinking? It probably has to do with something like your blood sugar level dropping to break down the alcohol, your body wanting salt, or your sense of taste losing some of its sharpness. Whatever the scientifically sound answer, ramen shops simply seem to tick all the boxes: open until early morning, unhealthy but delicious grub, and a huge amount of different joints to pick from. Compiled by our intrepid 'ramen hunters', here's an authoritative list of the city's best post-party noodle eateries.
