Farmer’s markets are a great way to purchase some of the freshest produce that the Osaka region has to offer, and also serve as an opportunity to meet the people behind the greens and other goodies.
The Yodoyabashi Odona mall hosts a market every Wednesday in July and August, inviting you to explore a wide variety of fruits, freshly picked vegetables, pickles, cut flowers, tofu products and ready-to-eat snacks, such as flavoured mochi, castella cakes, cookies, chestnut buns and red glutinous rice. Sometimes you’ll also find vendors selling coffee beans, olive oils, wines, teas, and handmade accessories like earrings and cloth masks.
The market is held from 2pm to 7pm and the list of vendors and wares can be found on the event website. It takes place outdoors and may be cancelled in the case of rain or stormy weather.
