ABOUT

About this spot

No discussion of Osaka's food culture is complete without Kuromon Market. Along the street of about 580 meters, shops line up selling high-quality fresh fish, meat and vegetables that even professional chefs frequent. The biggest attraction is eating as you walk and tasting on the spot. Savoring fresh sea urchin, oysters, Wagyu steak and fruit displayed at the shopfronts while listening to lively calls is an exceptional experience. Recently many international visitors come too, so you can enjoy a cosmopolitan atmosphere. It is fun to hunt for delicious things noisily with friends, or to explore the taste of Osaka alone at your own pace. With an arcade overhead, you can enjoy it with peace of mind even on rainy days. When sightseeing in Osaka, be sure to come hungry.
