It is a unique experience to be able to make your own nokke-don in Furukawa Market!

Nokke-don is when you buy a bowl full of rice and then visit the stalls at the market, purchasing various food items to place atop your rice and, in so doing, creating your own unique rice bowl dish. Since you are able to buy only the foods you like in the quantities you like, it can be great fun when you are on your own, with friends, with a loved one, or with your whole family.
