Furukawa Fish Market
古川市場
Overview
Build-your-own seafood bowl market where voucher tickets unlock dozens of fresh sashimi stalls.
Furukawa Fish Market in Aomori operates what might be the best meal deal in Japan: you buy a bowl of plain rice for a few hundred yen, then wander the market stalls purchasing small portions of whatever catches your eye to pile on top. Fresh scallops, tuna, salmon roe, sea urchin, and squid are all on offer, and vendors will slice and plate everything right in front of you. The result is a fully customized kaisendon at a fraction of restaurant prices. The market is liveliest in the early morning, so plan to arrive hungry.
Local tips
Bring cash in small denominations. Most market stalls don't accept cards and exact change speeds up transactions.
