🗺️ Osaka Kizu Wholesale Market

Osaka Kizu Wholesale Market is the largest private local wholesale market in Japan, attracting many professional chefs who come specifically to purchase high-quality ingredients. The market has a history of about 300 years, originating from the Edo period when people sold goods through "open-air stalls." It has since experienced air raids and numerous historical events. In 2010, it underwent renovations to transform into its current appearance. Taking advantage of its location within walking distance of areas like Namba and Dotonbori in Osaka's southern district, it supports Osaka's food culture as an urban wholesale market. The market houses over a hundred shops, including wholesalers and related businesses selling fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods. Although Osaka Kizu Wholesale Market primarily serves professional clients such as restaurants and retail stores, it holds a "Kizu Morning Market" on the second Saturday and the last Saturday of each month, allowing the general public to shop and experience the excitement of bidding. The market also features a business supermarket selling various ingredients, as well as bathing facilities such as outdoor baths and stone saunas.
