Valentine's day in Japan!

Valentine's day in Japan!

Today is Valentine's day !

In Japan, girls offer chocolate to guys. It can be for love, friendship, family or any other reasons to be thankful. There is also the feared "Girichoko ギリチョコ" which are obligated chocolates given to coworkers (even the ones you don't like).



Because of this tradition, chocolate sales are everywhere in Japan during the seasons from normal chocolates to amazing chocolate structures.

 

Chocolates can be homemade or bought from various prices. It can be very cheap or really expensive depending on the emotion you want to show!

One month later, on March 14th, it is white day. This time the boys will give back chocolates to the girls. It is usual to give back to every girl you receive one from, and you can also give it to the one you want!
