Kuromon Ichiba Market

#OsakaItinerary

Known as the "Kitchen of Osaka," Kuromon Ichiba Market has a history of over a hundred years. Originally a wholesale market supplying ingredients to restaurants and chefs, it has now transformed into a popular gourmet paradise for the public. There are more than 150 shops here selling fresh seafood, meat, fruits, desserts, and traditional Japanese foods.

What attracts tourists the most are the many stalls offering freshly prepared dishes, such as seared wagyu beef, sea urchin bowls, sushi, fried foods, and skewers, all made to order, reasonably priced, and extremely fresh. Many shops also provide menus in foreign languages, making it easy for international visitors to order. The high-end strawberries and melons sold at the fruit shops are also very popular.

The market stretches about 600 meters, making it easy to walk through, and nearby are the Dotonbori and Namba shopping districts for combined sightseeing. It is recommended to visit in the morning to avoid crowds and sold-out popular items. Whether you are a foodie, a food photography enthusiast, or want to experience local food culture, Kuromon Ichiba Market is a must-visit spot in Osaka.
