Time Out Market, the expert-curated food and cultural market is heading to Asia for the very first time.
The chosen location is Japan’s second city and undisputed dining capital of Osaka. Time Out Market Osaka will be opening its doors in 2025, as part of the Umekita Second Zone development right by the city’s central station.
Local Time Out editors are to select the greatest chefs and restaurants in this food-obsessed city. These hand-picked culinary champions will dish up their diverse flavours from 15 kitchens under one very large roof, alongside mixed drinks and culture. And while the line-up is still very much under wraps, Osaka’s very finest takoyaki will surely feature somewhere.
The Time Out Market formula – grounded in good times, delicious dishes and support for local businesses – has already been a big success in Lisbon, Miami, New York, Boston, Montreal, Chicago and Dubai. Openings in Porto, Abu Dhabi, Prague and London are also in the pipeline.
