Forget guidebooks. Wander. Seriously. Get lost in the residential areas. Look for places with lots of bikes parked outside, maybe a few salarymen eating lunch. Don't be afraid to peek into tiny little places – the best ramen spots often look unassuming from the outside. If you see a line of Japanese people, that's a good sign. And if the menu's mostly in Japanese, even better. You'll probably find something incredible that way. Trust your instincts, and happy hunting!

Man, Toyama's a tough one for ramen if you're avoiding the tourist traps. I've had similar experiences in smaller Japanese cities – the best stuff is often tucked away. You're not gonna find it on TripAdvisor. Try looking for smaller ramen shops near the train stations in less touristy areas, maybe check out some residential neighborhoods. Look for places with mostly local customers. Often, a lack of English signage is a good sign. Seriously, sometimes the most unassuming places have the best food. Happy hunting, and good luck! You'll find it!
