Three markets for Osaka food culture If you want to experience the local food culture and way of life, we recommend visiting a local market. The best time to explore markets in the summer is in the morning, before the temperatures rise. As you stroll through arcades or covered streets, you can enjoy fresh seafood, seasonal fruits, and cold drinks. In this article, we’ll introduce three markets that have long been the backbone of Osaka’s food scene. 01｜Osaka’s Flavors Gather Under the Arcade Kuromon Market Located in Nipponbashi, Kuromon Market is a historic market that dates back to the late Edo period. Its name is said to derive from the black temple gate of Enmyo-ji Temple, which once stood nearby. The approximately 580-meter-long arcade is lined with about 150 shops selling fresh fish, produce, fruits, processed foods, and restaurants. Once a hub for chefs sourcing ingredients, it has evolved into a market where visitors from Japan and abroad can casually enjoy sushi, seafood bowls, grilled dishes, and seasonal fruits.In the summer, we recommend visiting in the morning to enjoy eating and shopping while strolling under the arcade.
