Directions

Osaka's sprawling Korean market is a labyrinthine covered complex of narrow alleys packed with kimchi vendors, Korean grocery stalls, yakiniku ingredient shops, and cheap street food. It is the real heart of Osaka's Zainichi Korean community and has been operating for decades. Go hungry and try the fresh kimchi and grilled offal — just be aware the layout is genuinely confusing and some alleys are quite dark and cramped.
