Furukawa Fish Market

Furukawa Fish Market (青森魚菜センター, Aomori Gyosai Sentā) in central Aomori is a local favorite where you can build your own seafood donburi, called nokkedon. With a ticket system, visitors buy a bowl of rice and use tickets to pick from a wide variety of fresh toppings like crab, raw fish, shellfish, and more. Each vendor offers seasonal ingredients in small portions, allowing you to create a custom meal with Aomori’s freshest flavors.

The market is lively and packed with vendors selling seafood, pickles, and vegetables. Once your bowl is ready, grab a seat at the dining area and enjoy it with free tea, miso soup, and condiments like soy sauce and wasabi. Unlike other markets where this kind of experience is rare or seasonal, Furukawa Fish Market offers nokkedon every day the market is open.
