Kuromon Ichiba Market
Osaka's 'kitchen' for more than a century, with seafood, wagyu skewers, tamagoyaki and fruit sold along a covered arcade.
Kuromon Ichiba is a covered market arcade in central Osaka, long known as the city's kitchen. It supplies local restaurants and now welcomes visitors who come to eat on the spot.
What to expect
Around 150 shops line the arcade, selling fish, pickles, produce and prepared food. Many stalls offer grilled seafood and skewers to eat standing up.
What to eat
Grilled scallops, sea urchin, tuna sashimi, wagyu skewers, tamagoyaki, takoyaki and fresh fruit.
Visitor tips
- Visit in the morning to early afternoon, as many shops close in the afternoon.
- Some shops close on Sundays and holidays.
- Eat at the stalls rather than while walking, as signs often ask.
