It's always wild to me when I hear about how different the culture is between Osaka and Kyoto when they're so close.

I remember being blown away when I was in a Kyoto Familymart after a few months of living in Osaka after they handed me my fried chicken very delicately with both hands like it was a business card!

I guess that’s the cultural divide that occurs when one community is fishing and trading while the other does, like, competitive perfumed calligraphy or whatever.

competitive perfumed calligraphic etiquette -- of your grandfathers!
Clearly they also cook and serve fried chicken.
I've had people living in the East of Durgerdam explain to me that people from the West of Durgerdam were a bit weird. For context:

Similar in Spain between Andalusia doing trades since forever across the whole Mediterranean Sea vs the inner provinces (the Castille-s) and the chilly Atlantic North regions with Celtic/Basque substrates.
