On the B1 floor of Yodobashi Umeda Tower, the home of the famous Yodobashi Camera Umeda, you’ll find a buzzing yokocho (traditional Japanese food alley) called “Oishi Mono Yokocho.”
From celebrated Osaka restaurants to top-tier eateries from Fukuoka, Sendai, Kochi, and Hakodate, this yokocho gathers 20 distinctive restaurants under one roof — and it’s currently one of the hottest dining spots for foodie youngsters in Umeda.
Instead of a Showa-era (1926–1989) retro atmosphere, the space boasts a stylish, modern design. With all restaurants open from 11:00, you can enjoy lunch, the popular hirunomi (daytime drinking) hours — a uniquely Japanese drinking culture — or a post-work drink. Plus, its direct access from Umeda Station is a major draw.
Oishi Mono Yokocho is one of my personal favorites in Umeda. In this article, I’ll walk you through all 20 restaurants, share the facility’s essential details, and highlight the perks that make it so convenient — all based on my real visits. Find your favorite spot and enjoy a new take on yokocho dining!
Oishi Mono Yokocho is a dining area on the B1 floor of LINKS UMEDA, located inside Yodobashi Umeda Tower — one of the landmarks of Osaka’s Umeda district and home to the famous Yodobashi Camera Umeda. Thanks to its reasonable prices and stylish space, it’s hugely popular with young locals.

Oishi Mono Yokocho packs its restaurants into a compact area you can easily walk around in one loop. The space has a bright, modern, pop-style vibe and is always bustling with locals. While “yokocho” might conjure images of dim Showa-era alleys, this place is nothing like that.
