Kuromon Market

With approximately 150 shops, the covered Kuromon Market is Osaka’s largest food market, full of street eats and local specialities. In between the mom-and-pop greengrocers and sundry shops are dozens of places to sample everything from grilled oysters and dipping noodles to seasonal fruits. Besides strolling around with a skewer or plastic plate in hand, you’ll want to plonk yourself down in any of the sushi restaurants (try some oshizushi, a local version of sushi), or just pick up a bag of pickles – it’s bound to taste good.
