What other travelers are saying about Kuromon Ichiba Market
Famous local wet market that sell great food and good. Open early in the morning and you can find lot of fresh seafood over here. Huge variety of seafood with different pricing available and you can eat over there. You can compare with several stall and decide. Kobe beef is also famous over here and I quite enjoy it as the beef literally melts in my mouth. Plenty of street food also available here that one day is not enough that you might visit here another day.

We had a lot of fun in this market. We really enjoyed it, a lot of food shop and different food stand and restaurant in and around.
It is always advised to go early; we went on a Sunday at around noon and while it was already busy, we had no trouble in walking around.
Highly recommend to try a lot of different specialties. The price is of course typical market price.
Kuromon Ichiba Market in Osaka is a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts, offering a vibrant atmosphere and a wide variety of delicious street food and local specialties. However, be aware that it has become a tourist trap, with inflated prices and crowds to match.
To make the most of your visit, arrive early to beat the crowds and explore the smaller, lesser-known stalls for more authentic and affordable options, though i note that after 1pm, drinks like the fruit juices are sold are 200 yen instead of 500 yen, and sushi prices are slashed.
While it may not be a completely traditional Osaka market experience, Kuromon Ichiba still offers a unique and flavorful taste of the city's culinary delights.
All the pictures are taken in 23/03/23. It is a very famous local wet market in Osaka. There is a lot of shop and eatery in here aim for the tourist. You can experience part of the Japanese daily life in here. The food in this market marks up a lot (because it is famous for tourist attractions). I will not recommend you to spend too much money here, but it is good for picture taking. One more tip, visit the market before lunchtime. Otherwise, there are a lot of people and become very crowded place.
This place is full of delicious food( mostly seafood and desserts) . Going along the market sidewalk you will always find yourself enjoying the atmosphere there. The only downside of my trip to the market was the high temperature.
