Valentine’s day in japan

Japanese valentine is a special event that is celebrated very differently from Western countries.
Introduced in Japan in 1950 by a Japanese clothing company, Valentine’s Day is different from Europe, and it is only girls who usually give chocolates or cookies to boys.
Girls can give to the one they love, but also to their male co-workers and friends.
So we can give chocolates to people more or less close.
Honmei Choco: Is the chocolates that girls give to the person they love.
Tomo Choco: is chocolate given to friends.
Giri Choco: is chocolate given to colleagues or male friends.
A month later on March 14 is celebrated the White Day
It is the turn of boys who received chocolates to give back to girls a gift (small gift, flower, candy…) as thanks.
White Day was first celebrated in 1978 in Japan. It has been created by a Japanese company specializing in the manufacture of Marshmallow.
