The “Nishitsu Survey (tentative)” corner turns a quick question for readers plus the results of the previous question into an article??.
(This is a project inspired by Hirakata Tsushin, where Hiratsu does surveys.)

Last Time’s Survey Was
Which do you use: “koohen,” “kiihen,” or “keehen”?
The question was: when you want to say “not coming,” what do you say??
Survey period: November 20 to November 26
Number of responses: 149
This time, a whopping 149 people answered the survey!
That’s a new record high for the Nishitsu survey!!
While looking at the survey myself, I started wondering which one I use,
and found myself muttering “koohen, kiihen, keehen…”😂
Strong: “The train koohen💢” “They’re koohen even though it’s past our meeting time💢”
Soft: “Apparently that person keehen today〜☕”
…Apparently I’ve been unconsciously using them differently like that〜😳
This was such a fun survey😆
Now, let’s announce everyone’s answers!

Surprisingly, more people said they use “kiihin” than “kiihen,” which was one of the options in the question!
When I asked people around me, they seemed to use it without really thinking about it.

Nishinomiya is in the Settsu region, so it’s Settsu dialect.

“Mada kiyan.” “Kiyankatta.” By the way, for “not doing” something, we also say “shiyan.” I never thought anything of it, but when you really think about it, it’s kind of strange. “Yan” means “nai,” doesn’t it? Iyan♡

Doesn’t it depend on where you’re from, not where you live?

I say things like “The train koohen naa” or “They totally kiihin naa.”

This survey wasn’t fill-in-the-blank, so we’ll also share a few comments from the “write anything you like” section〜!
I really feel again and again that Nishinomiya is such a wonderful, easy-to-live-in city.
To all the staff, please keep sharing lots of great information with us!

I think the east-west visuals across from the shops you introduce are very helpful and nice. They make it easier to understand than a map alone, like “Oh, it’s here.”

I always look forward to reading💕 I really like how relaxed it feels〜

And many, many more. Thank you so much for all the supportive messages!
The ones we couldn’t introduce here are also being read carefully by the Nishitsu members〜!
Next Survey
Next up is our
“What school lunch did you love when you were in elementary school?” survey!
We used to start looking forward to lunchtime around third period, didn’t we〜😋
If there was a school lunch you loved and still remember, please let us know!
Of course, it doesn’t have to be from an elementary school in Nishinomiya!
As for me, I went to elementary school in Kobe,
and my favorite school lunches were “Tokuren Jelly” and “chikuwa isobe-age”!(All side dishes😅)
Your answer can be a main dish or a side dish〜!
If you have any funny school lunch stories from your elementary school days, or classic school lunch “that happened to everyone” moments, please include those too😊!
Survey results are here↓↓
There are six questions:
- “What school lunch did you love when you were in elementary school?”
- If you have any stories, please tell us!(Not required)
- How old are you?
- Please tell us your gender
- What area do you live in?(Whatever area you consider it to be is fine)
