A new highlight of Osaka's Dotonbori night market: Dotonbori Yadai-mura "Festival" has added two new sushi and taco stores, where you can watch a Japanese-style performance while eating!

Do you want to enjoy a night out in Osaka that combines good food with a lively atmosphere? Dotonbori Yadai-mura Matsuri (Dotonbori Yadai-mura Matsuri) is a culinary venue that has emerged in recent years around Dotonbori, the centerpiece of Osaka's Minami district, and has the feel of a "year-round festival. The festival combines Osaka's yatai culture with stage performances, and it's a great way to finish off a night of shopping in Namba or Shinsaibashi with dinner or a late-night snack.

On February 1, 2026, Dotonbori Yadai Village "Matsuri" welcomed the opening of two new restaurants: TEBA TACO (taco) and Matsuri Sushi (sushi). From the heavy Mexican tacos to the Japanese sushi that emphasizes on freshness and craftsmanship, the two restaurants cater to both the moods of "bold" and "sophisticated" eating at the same time.

What is the Dotonbori Yadai Village "Festival"? Osaka food and Japanese performances in one night!

The Dotonbori Yadai-mura "Festival" specializes in "year-round festival atmosphere": eating Osaka cuisine in the Yadai-mura while watching Japanese cultural performances on the stage. For first-time visitors or those who want to capture the atmosphere of Osaka's nightlife in a short period of time, this place has a clear positioning - it's not just a place to eat, it's a nighttime attraction where you can take photos, feel the buzz, and sit down to replenish your energy.

Admission to the venue itself is free, so if you want to go in and take a look at the day's events and the restaurant's menu before deciding what to eat, it's also very friendly.

New Restaurant 1: TEBA TACO - Taco + Wagyu Beef, and Teshigurashi & Donburi

If you're a fan of "one bite and you're good to go" cuisine, the new TEBA tacos will be right up your alley. The main taco is the Bengay Taco, which comes in three flavors: Chicken, Pork and Wagyu Beef; the combination of Mexican Taco × Japanese Wagyu Beef is what Yadaimura is best at: the presence of spices combined with the meat flavor and the sweetness of the fat makes you want to refill your cup with a drink.

In addition to tacos, the restaurant also prepares two flavors of tamagoyaki, as well as portion-sized meals such as the Rocco Moco Don, which is a good arrangement for people who don't eat spicy food or who want a more filling option.

New restaurant 2: Matsuri Sushi - We serve seafood from all over Japan in a consistent manner.

If you're looking for something a little more "Japanese", look no further than Sushi Sacrifice. The restaurant emphasizes the freshness of the ingredients and the craftsmanship of its staff, offering traditional and creative sushi. In addition to the a la carte menu, there are also a variety of set menus for first-timers who want a quicker way to pick out a set that won't break the bank.

One of the great pleasures of dining in Yadai-mura is that you can see stage performances from time to time. You can feel this sense of immediacy near the sushi festival: eating sushi with a lively Japanese-style performance as a backdrop is a better way to remember your trip than just "eating a meal.

What's the best way to get there? Namba, Dotonbori-Shinsaibashi" is the best way to walk at night.

Dotonbori Yatai Village "Festival" is located in the area of Soemon-cho (宗右衛門町) and can be reached in about 5 minutes on foot from Namba Station (なんば駅) on the Midosuji Line of the Osaka Subway, or on foot from the surroundings of Nihonbashi Station (日本橋駅) on the Kintetsu Line. We recommend putting it on the "Namba shopping → Dotonbori photo stop → Yadai-mura dinner/snack → Shinsaibashi shopping" route, as it is a short walk with a comfortable rhythm.
