What to expect

On this tour, you will have a chance to explore this market that is full of history and get to know the local products that make this a special place to visit. You will not only learn about Kuromon Market but also get an insider’s perspective on the culture, local people, food, and the Osakan way of life.

The Kuromon market started off as a fisherman’s market but now includes a variety of other stores as well. You will find 39 fish stores, 10 Greengrocery shops, 12 Butcher shops, 7 candy shops, and 24 restaurants located in this Market. A lot of Osakans shop here especially because the produce in this market comes from all over Japan. During your market tour you will have a chance to try high-quality, seasonal fish, produce, and beef. Try Osaka’s most famous street foods and enjoy the colorful sights and sounds.

After finishing in the main market area, go with your guide to nearby Sennichimae Doguyasuji, Osaka’s “Kitchen town.” You can see cooking tools and equipment crucial to Osaka’s chefs and restaurateurs. Every kind of Japanese kitchen item you could want can be found here–knives, bowls, takoyaki grills, neon signs, plastic food, utensils, appliances, and much more. Plastic food is a special feature here. Called “Food samples”, this tradition originated in Japan more than 100 years ago, when some entrepreneurial restaurateurs started to display wax and later plastic food dishes outside their shops to show diners what they can expect.
