Let’s go to the market – Osaka Market Food Tour

Fish, fruits, meat, sweets and plastic food! Are these four words that bring a smile to your face? Get your tummy rumbling? Well, it gets many Osakans tummies rumbling and their faces smiling. Where do you go to enjoy these desires? The market, but no common market. This is the Kuromon market, where you get an insider’s perspective on culture, the food, the local people and the Osakan way of life. This is a tour of colourful sights and sounds, oh, not forgetting smells. You’ll taste and have a rummage around. Did plastic food get a mention? Yep, you read that right. Plastic food is a unique feature here. Called food samples, a tradition from over 100 years ago. You’ll see plenty on display in restaurant windows. What one? Have no fear, there is a chance to find your perfect plastic sushi dish! It’ll make the perfect souvenir.
