A different world just one stop from Namba. The shortest route from Daikokucho Station to Kizu Market "Wa no Shoku" Honten.

Just one stop from Namba, to the sacred place of food

As a highlight of your Osaka sightseeing, a vibrant market experience is a very appealing option.

However, for those visiting a wholesale market for the first time, many feel uneasy, wondering, "Where do I enter, and how do I find the store I'm looking for?"

Our "WANOSHOKU" main store is located within the "Kizu Wholesale Market" in Naniwa Ward, Osaka.

It's conveniently located just one train stop from Osaka's main terminal, Namba, making it an excellent spot to visit during your sightseeing.

In this article, to maximize your travel time, we will guide you through the shortest route from the station and how to access our store.

 

A 3-minute walk from Daikokucho Station, Exit 1

The most convenient way to access us is via Daikokucho Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line or Yotsubashi Line. It's just one stop from Namba Station on the Midosuji Line, taking only about 2 minutes.

Once you arrive at the station, head for "Exit 1" on the north side.

After ascending the stairs to ground level, continue north (towards Namba). Turn right at the first traffic light, and you'll see the large building of "Kizu Wholesale Market" ahead.

The area around the market is filled with a unique vibrancy from people and vehicles seeking fresh ingredients. The path from the station to the market is flat, and it takes about 3 minutes to walk, making it an easy distance to cover even if you have heavy luggage.

 

Look for "Store Number 168" inside the market

Kizu Market is a massive food area with about 150 stores neatly lined up. To find the "WANOSHOKU" main store within it, look for the "store number" assigned to each aisle.

 

 

Our store is located in section "168."

There is a guide map at the market entrance, but if you get lost, please ask a market staff member for "WANOSHOKU at number 168."

Once you step inside, you'll find a calm "Japanese" space that contrasts with the market's hustle and bustle.

 

"Dialogue of the Five Senses" possible only at the main store

While our products can be purchased online, visiting the Kizu Market main store holds special significance.

 

 

At the store, you'll find a selection of 42 types of premium Japanese canned foods, encapsulating carefully selected ingredients from across Japan, such as sea bream from Ehime, scallops from Hokkaido, and wagyu beef from Miyazaki.

These products are masterpieces, with recipes conceived and supervised by a former head chef of a first-class Japanese restaurant, and each one is handcrafted by artisans at our workshop in Sakai.

At the store, our staff will carefully explain the story behind each product and the commitment to quality ingredients. The luxury of being able to choose "the perfect can" to match the recipient's preferences or travel memories, until you are completely satisfied, is a unique experience offered only at our main store.

 

Tips for smart souvenir shopping

The store is open from "8:00 AM to 12:00 PM" (subject to market closures).

The most efficient sightseeing plan is to enjoy a fresh breakfast at the market, explore the premises, and then make a final stop at our store.

All products can be taken home at room temperature, so there's no need to carry a cooler bag. We adhere to strict quality control following HACCP, an international hygiene management standard, allowing us to deliver "trust" as a gift for your loved ones.

Our tagline, "Bring Japan Home," expresses our wish for you to bring back the emotions you experienced in Japan with the same purity.

Just a 3-minute walk from Daikokucho Station, a special item awaits to complete your travel story. When sightseeing in Osaka, please visit the "WANOSHOKU" main store at Kizu Wholesale Market.
