Kuromon Ichiba
Kuromon Ichiba is a covered market that has served as 'Osaka's Kitchen' for around 190 years, with stalls selling fresh seafood, wagyu beef, produce, and street food meant for eating on the spot, from grilled scallops to sushi and skewered seafood. It draws a significant number of tourists these days alongside its traditional local shopper base, and prices at some stalls have risen accordingly.
It's a good place for a casual grazing lunch, walking between stalls rather than sitting down at one restaurant, similar in spirit to Kyoto's Nishiki Market but with more emphasis on premium seafood and wagyu.
