OSAKA GREETINGS "OOKINI"

Hey! Ookini!
Today, I want to teach you a word you can use in Osaka.

“Ookini.”
This word is more than just “thank you.”
It’s a greeting that feels a little closer to the heart.

It was born in Osaka, a city of merchants,
“Let’s meet again,”
“This is thanks to you,”
all of those feelings are packed into this one word.

“Ookini” is—
not too polite,

but not casual or careless either.
It puts the distance between people at just the right place.

Gratitude without expecting anything back.
A thank you with no calculation.
That’s the beauty of this word.

When you come to Osaka, definitely try using it!!
