I went to the first ever Time Out Market in Asia Pacific – here's why you should too
I recently popped my Japanese cherry (blossom), spending a week in the Land of the Rising Sun – and I can confirm that what everyone says is, in fact, true. Japan is elite. Home to super-speedy bullet trains and ancient temples, cool streets dotted with vending machines, thrift stores, izakayas and life-altering 7-Elevens – as well as the kindest, most respectful people I've come across – Japan is not only beautiful and mind-blowing, it's safe, clean and, my favourite part: delicious. I was there to check out the brand-new Time Out Market Osaka – the first Time Out Market to open in Asia Pacific – which started welcoming locals and holiday-goers from March 21, 2025. It joins already established and beloved Markets across the globe, including Lisbon, New York, Barcelona and Cape Town. If you've never been to a Time Out Market, it's basically a massive food lover's paradise – a food and cultural hub that brings together the best of the city under one roof. Here's everything you need to know about Time Out Market Osaka – and why I reckon you need to add it to your hit list... What is Time Out Market Osaka? Time Out Market Osaka is a food haven featuring the best of Osaka under one roof. Think of it as the best food market you've ever been to, featuring dishes from first-class local chefs, the city's top restaurants, bars and cultural experiences, based on Time Out's editorial curation. There are 17 vendors to choose from, showcasing a variety of cuisines including Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and, of course, Japanese. And if you're craving a really good burger, you can get that here, too. Plus, there are two bars (hello, sake and cocktails) and three dessert stalls. Spanning more than 3,000 square metres and seating up to 800 guests, Time Out Market is huge. There aren't many venues in Osaka big enough to cater for large groups with no reservation, so it's perfect for team lunches, birthday dinners and lunch and dinner when you're on holidays with friends. View this post on Instagram A post shared by avriltreasure (@avriltreasure) Where is Time Out Market Osaka? Time Out Market Osaka is in the heart of Osaka, within the architecturally striking Grand Green Osaka South Building. It's a six-minute walk from Osaka Station, making it an easy, convenient and central destination to catch up with friends and family – or check it out solo (and eat as much as you can) like I did. Where to eat and drink at Time Out Market Osaka? I'm so glad you asked. As I mentioned, there are 17 food stalls to choose from, featuring cuisines from all around the world. Of course, you'll find excellent Japanese fare, spanning traditional must-try street food snacks like takoyaki (balls filled with octopus), and okonomiyaki, a savoury Japanese-style cabbage pancake. And there's brilliant ramen – the one I ordered had an incredible frothy beef bone broth with soft and chewy noodles. But there are also banging tacos by chef Willy Monroy, who owns Milpa – the first and only Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant in Japan. You'll find handmade udon noodles and Korean hot pots, Napoli-style pizza with a Japanese twist, and a rocking Wagyu cheeseburger for when you're craving a taste of home. Feel like something sweet? My pick is the bowling-ball-sized shaved matcha ice, which had whimsy in spades. 'There's something for everyone' is a cliché, but it absolutely stands here. What are the opening hours of Time Out Market Osaka? Time Out Market Osaka is open seven days a week, from 11am through to 11pm, though last orders are taken at 10.30pm. Why should I visit Time Out Market Osaka? There are so many things I loved about Time Out Market Osaka. Walking in, I was truly blown away by how sleek and chic the space looked – with its warm lighting, natural wooden furniture and polished black splashback. So if you're after a cool hangout, this is it. I loved the communal tables and how it's great for big groups but also solo diners. And because all the food stalls have been curated by the Time Out team – AKA people who know what's up when it comes to food and drink – you can count on the dishes to deliver on quality and flavour. Osaka is an incredible food destination with so many top restaurants, and the Market brings the best of the city together under one roof. If you're after a taste of home, you'll find that here, too. Plus, there are DJs spinning tunes on the weekends with lots of fun things in the pipeline. Time Out Market is card-only and does not accept cash. And I think it goes without saying but I will anyway: come hungry. I hope you love it as much as I did – I have a feeling you will.

Joelma also shared a separate post paying tribute to her brother. "It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Felipe Tiago, known as Gordinho Maniçoba, on 06/11/25," the caption read. "One day, the man who made us laugh so much... today brings tears of longing. But in our hearts, he will always live on, in memories, in gestures, in stories that will never be erased." Friends and fans rushed to the comment section to pay tribute to the star, with one writing: "My friend, see you in eternity!" and another posting: " love you brother, rest in peace." "My condolences to all the family members, how sad," one said with a crying emoji and another added: "I love you friend, may God receive you with open arms."

Just last month the content creator celebrated his one-year engagement with fiancée, Isa Gomez. Isa shared a montage video on her Instagram page showcasing their time together as she paid tribute to him. In the caption, she wrote: "You will always be in my heart Your departure has left a void that will never be filled, but your memory and love will stay with me forever. "Thank you for being my companion, my friend and my love. You will be deeply remembered and loved, my little baby Felipinho."

Meet Jackie Apostel, Cruz Beckham's Much Older Girlfriend
When you enter into a family as famous as the Beckhams – comprised of David and Victoria Beckham and their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven – then you also enter a world of fame, fortune and unending attention. Brooklyn's wife of three years, Nicola Peltz Beckham, knows this all too well. As does Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel. The latter has garnered particular attention because of the couple's age gap. Cruz is 19 years old, a decade younger than Jackie, who is 29. So who is Jackie? And how did she meet Posh and Becks' youngest son? Read on to find out more. Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel at Paris Fashion Week in March 2025. (Photo by) Jackie is a songwriter with German and Brazilian parents. She is currently living in London and working on new music. She released her EP, The Reformation , in 2020, but announced in an Instagram post two years later that she would no longer be releasing music as an artist. Instead, Jackie wished to focus solely on songwriting and producing. 'My intention was and has never been to become a recording, touring artist,' she wrote. 'I'm a studio rat, I'm a creator, I'm a writer, a producer and an artist in many ways, but releasing the songs we did myself was always just a way of showcasing the tracks.' There is a 10 year age gap between Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie. It's not clear exactly how the duo first met, but they were first spotted together at Glastonbury festival in June 2024.

(Photo: Getty) Jackie and Cruz have been dating for a year and have already travelled the world together, collaborated in the studio and attended Victoria Beckham fashion shows and several infamous Beckham parties. They confirmed their relationship in October when Cruz publicly wished Jackie a happy birthday on his Instagram Stories. The couple regularly tag each other in mirror selfies and photos from their everyday lives. In January 2025, Cruz shared multiple photos with Jackie in Brazil and captioned it, 'So 2025 is going to be good, right? ❤️.' Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham in April 2025.

In June, Jackie shared a framed photo of her and Cruz alongside a series of other images and videos of him captioned 'a good year' to mark their anniversary. Meanwhile Cruz wrote '1 year down, plenty to go'. Cruz's older brother Brooklyn, 26, has been married to Nicola Peltz, 30, since April 2022 and they live together in LA. Meanwhile, Romeo, 22, has recently split from his girlfriend of seven months, Kim Turnbull, reportedly due to their busy schedules. Prior to this relationship, he was with model and influencer Mia Regan for five years. Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news. She has also written for the i, i-D and the New Statesman Media Group and covers all things pop culture for Grazia (treating high and lowbrow with equal respect).
