Kuromon Ichiba Market was established in Nipponbashi, Osaka in 1902, though fish traders had been operating there since the early 19th century. The shopping street is 580 meters long with around 180 stores, and in pre-Covid times, it is estimated that around 23,000 people would visit per day. Today, those looking for Osaka street food can find tons of little eateries crammed along the shopping street.
Shizuka explores this treasure trove of Japanese street food, visiting six food stops at Osaka Kuromon Market for fresh seafood, fried morsels, and sweet treats.

What is your favorite food that Shizuka tried in Kuromon Market?

[@ghadafi2998]

aburi toro 🍣looks oishiiii

[@timusman2911]

All of them please.

[@kobzster06]

Soy milk donut! Uni is one of those foods that I never acquired a taste for. Maybe I just had a not too fresh one but the ones I've had were just too "iodiney" and bitter.

[@gilghost]

that giant chicken

[@ibeam06]

Too hard to choose

[@jeffreychongsathien]

Shizuka was born to do this.

[@ShizukaAnderson]

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Yayy, thanks for subscribing!! 🥰

[@Solcres_Joa]

What an amazing street! The high quality food really shows thanks to the years of experience from all the shops. Shizuka as always has a talent for making anything sound delicious; and I wouldn't mind at all getting some of those soy milk donuts or stopping by to grab some fresh uni or sushi. Great job!

[@JapanbyFood]

All of it was super tasty! :) You should definitely try!

[@arthurjohnaguhob9627]

See you in a few weeks Japan..miss yahhh.

[@h22aseiichi]

That tofu place is amazing! can’t just go just once!

[@sethsoderman2731]

Amazing food

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, thank you!

[@willienillie6337]

Shizuka, your Japanese is really good.

[@jordanmarcus]

The assortment of tuna sushi was the most alluring plate of bite sized morsels i’ve seen in some time!

[@nicholaslam831]

Jésus, mes 2 préférés ! Présentateur préféré shizuka et ma nourriture préférée uni !!! Continuez la belle vidéo ! Shizuka simple, sophistiqué et élégant !🥰😍

[@ivyvalentos931]

The tuna and the sea urchin then end it with soya milk and donut...hihihi, almost half of Shizuka ate ....are my fave .

[@bungalogic]

[@Asianwarrior702]

Alohaaaaaaaaa all the way from Las Vegas.. I love Japanese food.. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@JapanbyFood]

Alohaaaa!

[@chereisiecrawford339]

So many places I hope to visit, and so many things I hope to try if I ever manage to visit Japan. Thankyou for showing such lovely shops. I adore Shizuka's enthusiasm for everything and the history each shop offers.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching

[@Peter421]

That seared Otoro Omg 😍

[@JapanbyFood]

Delicious!

[@mingjieng1426]

My gosh! So much contents today! So much to share! 😍 Ok! Let's start with Aburi Sushi! I am not too sure about the rest of Japan by in my experience Aburi Sushi is not very common in Japan(but very common here in my home country of Singapore, it is everywhere). Therefore, if you see one in Japan, it is a must try! Looks like Shizzy really loves the Uni that she finishes everything! 😅 The fillings of Renkon Hasami Age is usually minced pork or prawns but you may find chicken sometimes or fish but the one common meat I have not come across in Renkon Hasami Age is lamb(lamb or mutton is really rare in Japan). Renkon(蓮根) means lotus roots, Hasami(はさみ) means to put things in between two things(I think the verb for it is "Hasamu") and Age(揚げ) means to deep fry. Chicken Karaage(から揚げ) or Japanese Fried Chicken is actually very different from American Fried Chicken or fried chicken from the rest of the world! Instead of flour or beer, the Japanese uses potato starch powder or katakuriko(片栗粒) which arguably is one of the best batter for deep frying! 😍 As for wagashi, I am a real amateur but one thing I know for sure, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke would "love" this "Chidori"-Ya! 😅 Lastly, the soya milk. It is actually everywhere here in my home country of Singapore. From shopping malls to train stations, from hawker stalls to supermarkets to high-end dining restaurants, soya milk is everywhere here in Singapore but none can compare to those found in Japan. Japan have some of the best soya beans in the world especially those found in Nagano prefecture and the mineral water that the Japanese used to make their soya milk and tofu is rumoured to be so sweet that even ants are attracted to it! 😍

[@shuermarvin577]

I love. the uni.

[@un02121986]

am definitely interested to taste the sea urchin

[@budz.e4730]

I like sea urchin ,, I like your smile to very friendly fun lady

[@andrewwong137]

Tuna yum, uni yum and soy milk yes! 😋

[@KibaJovanni]

I can’t wait my trip to Osaka is in sept

[@JapanbyFood]

Have a good time there!

[@wheretheeaglefly4451]

Before I wanted to travel and get to know Tokyo, now I want the same for Osaka!

[@muslihatkedua7422]

i know the food is good , but your skin are so pretty!

[@mrmagillacutty1]

I would like to eat there with you,that looks amazing!(urchin)

[@polyboroides2615]

As I am on a restricted diet, you have inspired me to try soba noodles. Great video, thanks.

[@JapanbyFood]

Soba noodles are one of the healthiest meals in Japan!

[@PursuingHeaven]

For my 40th B-day my best friend took me out for Lobster Dynamite and Fresh Uni. Both were amazing but years later I can remember the taste of fresh uni like yesterday. I do not like processes and preserved Sea Urchin but I LOVE fresh Uni! Try a touch of Ponzu on it...so good.

[@JapanbyFood]

Fresh uni is the best!

[@daddyjer3044]

We miss japan hope we all can travel soon

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope so too

[@booksandocha]

I wonder if there is still a small curry stall there, near the Kurogin Tuna store... Visited there some years ago, really nice owner and great, spicy curry.

[@oliviolanza1933]

Shizuka-chan 😍

[@adacanay01]

Hey looks awesome and delish..what time should we go visit Kuromon seafood market? Made it here in Osaka today but it seems like the marketplace is closed..?

[@johngo3715]

I was in Kuromon Feb of last year It was so weird to see it empty.

[@perdomot]

I've visited several of these types of markets and can't get used to seeing them empty. So many wonderful places to eat going empty is sad. Love aburi sushi myself and those looked so good.

[@JapanbyFood]

Hoping to be back to normal again...

[@johnbundner]

I would say the sea urchin!

[@baliwalknshops1517]

I'm so interested trying sea urchins which I never eaten in my life

[@CodeProvider]

WTF DIDNT KNOW SHIZUKA HAS HER OWN SHOW WOWWWWWW

[@scotttan6377]

I was hoping to see a soy milk mustache 😁 Hope to try the uni some day.

[@hcs1833]

The fresh soy milk is the one I went for during last time visit

[@joeyj8675]

For someone who does speak the language, how can one navigate to these places if someone would like to experience the food scene. Cause wow the place you've show a lot of us would like to travel out there once boarders are open again.. Thank you..

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

can confirm this place is a lot more lively now :P

[@astroboy3507]

So yummy guys!!!!👅🍣👍

[@clsybear]

That uni looks fantastic. ONOLISHES

[@chorlauheung4920]

She looks and sounds like Nikki Gil!

[@ferdieongchangco4982]

very informative and made me droooool lol

[@emilmuhamad7131]

What camera r u using to film this?

[@willienillie6337]

Kuro Mon also exist in Lord of the Ring. The Black Gate of Mordor.

[@N3blem]

"size wise" - shizu :)

[@PaulLoh]

Your explanation of the name of the gate reminded me of some of the market places in Seoul, Korea. Namdaemun, and Dongdaemun. I don't remember the exact directions, but they mean something along the lines of east gate and south gate. Anyway, a few years ago, it occurred to me that my mother and her twin sister are named Nam Suk and Dong Suk, respectively. I asked if they were named after the market places. My mother said yes. It was because they were an unwanted pregnancy, especially when it was discovered that they were twins. No thought was put into their names. It would be like naming your kids Walmart and Kroger. I found that to be incredibly sad.

[@jeffreychongsathien]

@Japan by Food 8:39 Must be a thumbnail!

[@chill_kaiju]

It's wonderful so much delicious food exists somewhere. It's a shame that borders are to remain closed until THE END OF TIME.

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope that it will open soon...

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

How are you so pale? Lol, love the japanese market vibe, looks delicious!

[@akmotor8381]

Otoro I remember the name from great teacher onizuka

[@BBB_025]

$14 USD for a tuna bowl??? It’s 3x that price in LA and probably not as good 😭😭😭

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Some people said it tastes like you going down on mermaid...

[@mufcs.8265]

น่ารัก
