There are a lot of delicious meals in Osaka (Kuromon-Market). How can you enjoy without eating?

First of all,we will tell you.
“They are delicious,they cannot be not delicious!”The luxury fish and shellfish of crab,shrimp and eel which are lined up.We did not eat! Not a single bite!Because it was too luxurious,so we could not afford to it.Most people say,”There is no point visiting Kuromon!”But please wait.Even if we did not eat,we enjoyed Kuromon Market enough.By the way,we did not eat nothing at all,so do not worry.Well,whatsoever,we went to the “Kuromon Market”which is popular as a sightseeing spot as well as the Kitchen of Japan-Osaka!

The nearest station are “Nihonbashi Station” of Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line/Sennichimae Line,or”Kintetsu Nihonbashi Station”of Kintetsu Namba Line.As for Sennichimae Line.The next station of Nihonbashi of Sennichimae line is “Namba”,one of the most popular tourist spot.Leaving from the Exit No.10 at Nihombashi station and turn left.There is a pet shop on the left side as you go.Let’s see the top if you find it.
The character of “Kuromon Market” will appear.

By the way,the Kuromon Market seems to have been called “Enmyouji Market”during the Meiji Era.In the Edo era,there is a temple with a black main gate,Enmyouji,on the west side of the current market.It was said that the merchant sold fish in front of the gate,so that was the origin of this market.The name of “Kuromon Market”is also said to have come from the “Black Main Gate”.Although the building of Enmyouji temple and the main gate,were burned at the Namba big fire that occurred in Meiji 45(1912),now it is not located in this place.
However,they are relocated,now it is in Terugaoka Yata.
Well,it’s like this as above picture when you pass through the entrance.It has the atmosphere of shopping area,too.Lunch time around noon.Because it was a weekday,it was not so crowded.
The capsule toy vending machines were lined up near the entrance.We could not help concerning,but we ignored.

1.Actually,we felt that the scallops look like buns head.

Even here we can feel lots of atmosphere of the Market.The scallop looks like a baked bun in the center of the picture.

The width is also amazing,but the thickness is also unbelievable.
We wonder if people with a small mouth cannot cram into their mouths.

We want to clarify how big my favorite scallops are,but they are luxurious items,which are too early for me to eat.If you blow the freshly baked scallops to cool and bit into them,they will be broken down easily.

Every time you bit them,the sweetness of the scallops will seep out quickly.Like this,it also enjoyable to taste the scallops with the imagination at Kuromon Market.But,honestly,we really wanted to try it.

The back of the shop is a restaurant.Someday,we want to check if it is scallops as we imagined.

2.We are very happy to just see Matsuzaka beef.

Although you have an image of seafood when talking about the market Kuromon market covers meat as well.
Moreover,the famous “Matsusaka beef”.
The price of Matsuzaka beef is as high as we expected.It is dignified.
It is my first time to see that such a high priced meat was stuck in a　skewer.
Once you bake this,many people nereby will turn around.
The beef will melt in your mouth.The steak that surrounds the skewers.

It looks like the smell of burning of sirloin scraped at the nose.
we went forward with such feelings.

“Fashionable”The Kuromon Market is famous for only food but for the fashion center.
Even laundry can be done.You will see the flag of “eel” next to it,that appetizer you only with letters.
We would like to live in the Kuromon Market,is it selfish?”Where do you live?””The Kuromon Market.”I want to answer coolly.

3.Disturbed by the temptation of the Main Street.

Well,when turning to the right”Fashionable”cloth shop.
People are so crowded!
Apparently,this is the main street.
There are fresh fish shops where the fresh fish Sashimi and seafood bowl from which you can hear “fresh!”,are sold or there are specialty stores where you can eat tuna bowl that dished up with so much tuna.
We cannot find the words but “the trove of delicacy”.You will hear more voice of foreign people than Japanese.It is a big sightseeing spot for foreign tourists.
The male clerk of a shop manipulating a burner like a chef.The legs of a fine Taraba crab to be staked.We want to walk around the market with biting the thick body of Taraba crab which are folded with a joint and pulled out like a beef jerky.
“What this is? It’s a crab,it’s real,are you surprised?”Boasting triumphantly in the mind.
You rarely see so much Fugu(puffer fish) displayed at the fishmongers.We do not quite understand the difference in price for the armatures.However,when translating some English sentences written in front us,”You can take out pufferfish,which means it will cost more money if you eat at the restaurant in our shop.”Tessa,Yubiki,Karaage,Tettiri.How many people can enjoy the dishes if they cook all the Fugu which we see in front of us?By the way,Fugu is”puffer fish”in English.They are also called “blowfish” “globefish”.There are many foreigners who eat puffer fish in this area for the first time which are not so popular abroad.By all means,we want you to taste Hirezake(hot Japanese liquor flavored with fish fins).
Well,so far, I have only seen and imagined.With just imagining it,we can say”It was delicious.” to people.But we have not eaten.To be honest,we did not go beyond imagination,so we do not know the real things.However,it was a fact that we enjoyed walking.There was not such a fun walk like this.

4.At last,the time has come when we opened my wallet.

Well,as we mentioned at the beginning,we cannot afford to buy crabs,shrimps,and eels.
“Emperor crab”is about”king crab(Taraba Crab)”When we saw the display of the crabs,they are well beyond the amount of crabs we will eat in my whole life.

Aside from that,in the Kuromon Market,they prepare “Kanikama(boiled fish-paste) for those who can not eat these luxurious extra-thick Taraba crabs.
As you can see in the picture there are quite a few shops where the burned Kanikana,whose taste is very similar to the real crab.The shape of the Kanikama is like a leg of the extra big Taraba crab.
“Yasojima” has the luxury lineup of crab,shrimp and eel.When looking into another showcase while thinking that it is a shop that is none of our business of today.
¥500!
Unexpected 500 yen sushi.Apparently,it seems to be a bargain price.While being smaller than the normal size which are sold next to this shop,you can enjoy many kinds of sushi topping.This 500 yen sushi fits for the woman who are hungry before eating,always get full as soon as she start and feel frustrated.Although she wanted to try many kinds of sushi toppings until she goes to a sushi shop.Also, we like miniature size.There was also a magic that small things make them look cute and pretty.We got our hearts grabbed by the small sushi.
In this way,the wallet was opened for the first time in the Kuromon markets.

Finally we got Sushi.Well,when we were wondering where to eat,the clerk of the shop said that there is a resting place so when we went down the road.
“FREE REST AREA”, “There is eating space”we found it.There is also a toilet People who eat walking must know this area.

Above picture is the one inside the area.They have a lot of seats.There were a lot of overseas travelers on this day.Everyone eats what he wants to eat and takes a break.Well,finally,the first mealtime has come in the Kuromon Market.
It looks delicious!You can’t see how small they when you watch the uploaded picture like this.The egg half size of the egg might remind us of this sushi size.
From the top left Salmon,White meat,Shrimp,Scallops,Egg,Salmon roe,Flying fish roe,Herring roe,Eel,Kanikama,Inari (vinegared rice wrapped in deep-fried bean curd),Sliced ginger.
You can eat 11 kinds of sushi.
We feel like saying “Oinari-Chan” rather than “Oinari-San” because they are small and pretty.Of course,you can have it in one bite.It seems that deliciousness is also condensed as much as it gets small.Deep-fried bean curd is also juicy.
Anyway,it’s all small so you can eat them with one bite.This shushi is a mini size.So all you have to think is to choose what to eat next.
You can eat herring roe which you can eat only on the New Year’s Day.We feel a heartwarming for the sharp crunch.
No matter how small the salmon roes are,they form real Warship Rolls.It has a beautiful form.They bubble up in the mouth.You can enjoy Eleven kinds of sushi for 500 yen.You can feel satisfied with having tasted sushi.Still,the stomach is available.Perfect for eating out.We appreciate that we could find this size of sushi.

5.We are very sorry that we have to talk about dessert because we do not have enough time.

There were plenty of affordable gourmets(Oden,Takoyaki,Curry and rice),but there is no time to them all.But when we think about one more thing to eat.
There was a beautiful “Akebi” in the corner of the shop where various things are displayed.If I chewed the unidentified fruit with full of seeds,it was slightly sweet.It was more delicious than I thought.Foreign people bought it as being recommended by the store person.And,although I was concerned about Akebi,but the most concerned fruit was the one which was burned in the net.
Melon,Orange,Pineapple,Sweet potato.We can imagine the roasted sweet potato,but we do not know well roasted fruit.We are worried about eating something that we cannot imagine at all,but if we can imagine it a little,we get excited about.I chose to buy “Orange(400 yen)” .Well,After waiting for just a little time.
Two roasted things.In other words,one whole orange.They are stuck in disposable chopsticks.What is the surface of the well roasted part?
I bought the Orange at the shop inside”Sen-Nariya”.Other than that,roasted seafood and sushi are on sale,there is also a dinning space.While other guests are eating a variety of seafood I ate the fruit to the full.
The browned things on the surface which we were concerned about,when we touch with the spoon,there was a solid response.When we tried it,we felt the taste of caramel on the pudding.It was baked sugar.If the plate had not been a tray of Styrofoam,it might have been an  stylish dessert.Well,what will happen if you bake fruits.Surely sweet oranges will get sweeter.And,it will be established as dessert.
It’s a bit cold in the season when I want the warmth from autumn to winter,though summer is a good season if it is iced.On that day,it was a chilly day with a little rain.So,a little warm,and sweet orange was the most suitable for that season.
This is surprisingly big enough for the stomach.Still more we are not accustomed to eating the oranges.We recommend sharing it by half with two people.

You have got much information for Kuromon-Market.
Of course we recommended for people who can become excited when going to a lively place.People who are not good at the crowd are so good that there are shops where you can sit down calmly,so do not think about going around a lot.But it is better to aim at such stores at a pin point.There are many shops that will close soon in the evening.If you want to put the visiting in your schedule for traveling,it is the best to stay at the nearby hotel the night before and visit and eat from the morning.If you say how much you can enjoy the Kuromon Market without eating,you can enjoy it.However,it is better to actually enjoy gourmet.Eating expensive meal,reasonable meal,fresh fish,meat and fruit.Kuromon Market where you can definitely find something you want.I would pass the street if the Kuromon Market was nearby.
Those who have never been to the Kuromon Market,please try to find fun!
