Time Out Market Osaka is a food market that continuously edits the 'now' of the city. We curate Osaka's food scene from the perspective of 'Time Out', a city media brand that has edited the 'best of the city' in over 350 cities worldwide for more than 55 years.
Starting in May, new stores will open sequentially. On May 1st, 'Tenmei', a new business format by the popular Osaka Nishinakajima ramen shop 'Jinrui Mina Menrui' and sake sommelier Keita Akahoshi, will open. In early June, 'Krungtep', a Thai restaurant representing Osaka, will debut in a new style. Both are carefully selected as must-visit establishments in today's Osaka. Please look forward to the new developments in Time Out Market Osaka's second year.
Hot New Stores Based in Osaka Opening One After Another
'Tenmei', opening in May 2026, is a highly anticipated establishment pairing 'Jinrui Mina Menrui', a popular ramen shop from Nishinakajima, Osaka, with sake sommelier Keita Akahoshi. The core of this bowl is an innovative soup made solely with 'water and soy sauce', using no dashi (broth). High-quality water draws out the umami of the soy sauce to its absolute limit, and Mr. Akahoshi himself was deeply moved by its profound depth. Furthermore, by pairing small amounts of different types of sake carefully selected by Mr. Akahoshi, a bowl of ramen is elevated into an 'experience'.
In June, 'Krungtep', loved in Osaka for many years for its authentic Thai cuisine, will open. At Time Out Market Osaka, they will offer a set-style lunch where you can choose from daily specials, designed to blend into the daily lives of office workers. Famous mango sweets and Thai drinks from the main store are also scheduled to appear.
Other sections are also preparing for openings heading into the summer. Details will be announced sequentially in the second and subsequent announcements.
As a continuously editing market, we will deliver the 'best' of the moment from Osaka.
What it Means to be a Continuously Editing Market
'Time Out Market Osaka is not a completed commercial facility, but an "ever-editing media",' says Takuya Nishina, General Manager of Time Out Market Osaka.
'Over the past year, it is the individual stores that have graduated from here that have nurtured this market. It is because of their challenges that the next challenges are born. We treat both the stores that have graduated and the stores we will welcome with the same respect.
City trends definitely change in a year. New talents emerge, reputations are updated, and the flow of people shifts. That dynamism itself is the charm of the city.
The 1-year contract unit is meant to keep pace with the speed of the city. Delivering the best dish right now to the customers right now. That is the promise of Time Out Market, and our responsibility as an ever-editing media.
Allowing long-loved tastes and newly recognized talents to coexist in a form appropriate for Osaka at that specific time. Continuing to change is the very value of Time Out Market.
Keeping Time Out Market Osaka a place where you can enjoy the "now" of this city. That is our job.'
Time Out Market Osaka General Manager, Takuya Nishina
The Culture of 'Osaka Now' Beyond Food
Time Out Market Osaka delivers more than just food.
Inside the facility, we routinely broadcast culture beyond food, such as stage events by local artists and DJs, and experiential projects that parents and children can enjoy on Sundays.
Gathered under one roof are dishes ranging from award-winning chefs to everyday tastes like ramen and udon. By crossing food and culture of different genres and temperatures, we aim to be a place where you can experience the very contours of the city.
As a space where food, music, people, and time gently mingle, we hope it becomes a place where you can enjoy a different expression every time you visit.
As an ever-editing market, what will appear next? We hope you enjoy the anticipation itself.
