Recommended wine: Riesling, Sake, Sauvignon Blanc

Ramen Noodles works really well with Riesling, Sake, and Sauvignon Blanc. Saké is an obvious choice when it comes to Japanese food. If you want to stick to grape wine, though, you might opt for sauvignon blanc or riesling. One wine you could try is King Frosch Riesling Auslese All Natural German. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
