A new style market with fresh ingredients and restaurants
Noren Plaza has a long history. After the war, Naha is said to have recovered from Tsuboya. It started as a naturally occurring machine (market) near Tsuboya. When the “Noren Central Market” was established, the market was called “Noren” and was affectionately known as “the kitchen of Okinawans”.
Due to aging and other reasons, the market had to be torn down and was reborn as “Nouren Plaza” in 2017.
Although the building is newer, it still offers a glimpse of the atmosphere of the old market, based on a face-to-face selling style where shopkeepers and customers are in direct contact with each other.
