Kuromon Ichiba Market 黒門市場

'Osaka's kitchen': a 600 m covered market of around 150 stalls selling grilled scallops, toro sushi, wagyu skewers, uni and fresh fruit to eat on the spot.

About

Kuromon dates back to the early 1800s and once supplied Osaka's restaurants; today it is half local market, half seafood street-food alley. Stalls grill scallops, crab legs, wagyu skewers and eel, and sell sashimi bowls, oysters, sea urchin and fruit cups. Prices are tourist-level for the showpiece items, but there are still traditional fishmongers, pickle shops and kitchenware stores. Most stalls have seating areas where you can eat what you buy.

Highlights

• Around 150 stalls in a 600 m covered arcade
• Grilled scallops, crab and wagyu skewers
• Fresh uni, toro and oysters
• Fruit and sweet stands

Tips

• Morning (9:00-11:00) is the best time, before crowds and while stock is fresh
• Compare prices: a few stalls charge much more for the same item
• Many stalls close by 17:00; Sunday some are closed
