About
Ikuno's Korea Town stretches along Mijuki-dori shopping street east of Tsuruhashi. Long-running kimchi and Korean grocery shops sit next to newer stalls selling viral K-street food (cheese hotdogs, hotteok, tteokbokki), K-pop idol merchandise and Korean cosmetics. Weekends attract big crowds of young Japanese fans. The Osaka Korea Town History Museum nearby tells the story of the community.
