Sushi Shin
Excellent local sushi in Yokohama, located in Tama Plaza. Try out the 'basashi' which is a sushi made with the raw meat of a horse. Yes! You can have horse sushi. What does horse sushi taste like? There's only one way to find out. The locals say that it melts in your mouth and is rather delicious.
Sugitaya Ramen
If after the Instant Ramen and Ramen Museums were not enough to fill you, then take a stroll over to Sugitaya for a big ol' bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The tonkotsu her is exceptionally creaming and flavourful.

Kirin Beer Village (FREE)
Beer enthusiasts unite and rejoice, but don't expect an actual village of pubs and beer. Instead it is a small museum and public tours of the breweries, and of course plenty of sampling of the goods. The tour lasts about an hour, and are done every 30 minutes.

And you thought you were finished with ramen after glutting yourself at the Shin Yokohama Ramen Museum? tsk tsk tsk! Your adventure has just begun, you ramen neophyte. Now make room in your stomach if at all physically possible and take a stroll on down to the Cup Noodles Museum
