Kuromon Ichiba (黒門市場)

Nipponbashi

Osaka's food market, Kuromon Ichiba, draws travelers and restauranteurs alike in search of the fresh ingredients like blowfish and oysters
This famous food market is located in a covered shopping street in Osaka's Minami District near Nipponbashi. It is popular with restauranteurs for sourcing the freshest ingredients and is fun for those culinarily curious to explore. There are a number of stalls selling foods to eat on the go and sit down establishments as well. The market earned its name, Kuromon Ichiba, meaning "black gate market" because of its location. In the early nineteenth century, local fishmongers began to set up shop on the outskirts of Enmyoji Temple, which was once located here, and which had a black main gate entrance. The market now stretches through the arcade for 580 meters, with approximately 150 stores, many of which sell fresh seafood, like daggertooth pike conger in summer and blowfish in winter.
