From innovative French cuisine to Osaka’s beloved soul food, these six newcomers each bring their own unique flavors and personality. Here are the latest must-try spots you won’t want to miss. The name Le Chef du Mois means “Chef of the Month” in French. This unique pop-up French restaurant features a different acclaimed guest chef each month, with every chef creating an exclusive menu available only during their residency.   Recommended Dishes The highlight is a beautifully presented one-plate meal showcasing seasonal Japanese ingredients, creatively prepared using a blend of French, Italian, Chinese, and other international culinary techniques. Don’t miss the limited-edition “Dish of the Month,” available in just 100 servings per day. Pair it with one of the restaurant’s carefully selected wines for an unforgettable dining experience.   WEB：https://www.instagram.com/le_chef_du_mois Creo-Ru is one of Osaka’s most famous takoyaki restaurants, with its flagship store located in the heart of Dotonbori, the city’s entertainment district. Loved by both locals and visitors, its takoyaki is renowned for its rich dashi flavor—so flavorful that it’s often said to taste delicious even after it has cooled.   Recommended Dishes The classic takoyaki with savory sauce is always a crowd favorite, but don’t miss the restaurant’s creative signature offerings, including Takoyaki with Truffle Oil & Sea Salt and the new Takoyaki with Porcini Cream Sauce & Parmigiano Reggiano. These gourmet twists pair surprisingly well with wine.   WEB：http://www.creo-ru.com   [Note] What is Takoyaki? Takoyaki is one of Japan’s most iconic street foods, originating in Osaka. Made by cooking a wheat-flour batter with pieces of octopus, green onion, and other ingredients in a special molded griddle, each ball is perfectly round with a crispy exterior and a soft, molten center. They’re traditionally topped with a sweet-savory takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed flakes, and bonito flakes, making them an essential Osaka food experience. Krungtep is an authentic Thai restaurant that uses traditional Thai spices and fresh herbs imported from Thailand. It has also been officially certified by the Royal Thai Government as a restaurant serving genuine Thai cuisine, making it a trusted destination for authentic flavors.   Recommended Dishes Thai cuisine is a favorite among travelers from Europe, North America, and Australia, and Krungtep serves classic dishes that stay true to their roots while being carefully balanced to suit Japanese palates. Popular choices include the aromatic Tom Yum Goong, made with fresh Thai herbs, and the ever-popular Gapao Rice (Thai Basil Chicken with Rice). If you’re craving authentic Thai flavors in Osaka, this is a must-visit.   WEB：http://www.krungtep.co.jp   Manipopo is a popular Korean restaurant originating from Shinsaibashi, one of Osaka’s trendiest neighborhoods. A favorite among younger diners, the restaurant is known for serving comforting, home-style Korean dishes inspired by the flavors of an “eomoni”—the Korean word for mother.   Recommended Dishes Be sure to try the restaurant’s signature Korean Fried Chicken, available in five different flavors. Each piece is irresistibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Another crowd favorite is the gimbap (Korean rice rolls), generously filled with fresh vegetables and other ingredients. Both dishes are perfect for sharing with family and friends.   WEB：https://www.instagram.com/manipopo__timeoutmarketosaka/ Tenmei is an innovative ramen restaurant created through a collaboration between Jinrui Mina Menrui, one of Osaka’s most celebrated ramen brands, and Keita Akahoshi, a renowned expert in sake pairing. The restaurant takes a bold approach by crafting its signature soup without using any dashi stock, relying solely on water and premium soy sauce to bring out the natural flavors of its carefully selected ingredients.   Recommended Experience Don’t miss the restaurant’s signature Ultimate Soy Sauce Ramen, which showcases the depth and complexity of Japan’s finest soy sauce in a truly one-of-a-kind bowl. For an even more memorable experience, order the Sake Pairing Set, where expertly selected Japanese sake is matched with your ramen, offering a fresh and modern take on Japanese food culture.   WEB：http://www.unchi-co.com/ Furai Guys puts a creative twist on traditional British cuisine by blending classic favorites with regional flavors from around the world. The result is a menu of one-of-a-kind British-inspired dishes that you won’t find anywhere else.   Recommended Experience The signature Original Fish & Chips is a must-try. The crispy batter is seasoned with aonori (Japanese green seaweed) and shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend), giving this British classic a uniquely Japanese flavor. Pair it with a cold draft beer for the ultimate pub-style dining experience.   WEB： https://livinghospitalityjapan.com/ One of the biggest draws of Time Out Market Osaka isn’t just the food—it’s the vibrant lineup of events and cultural experiences that bring the space to life.
