Here comes the Valentine season!
Japanese Valentine’s celebration is a bit different. Instead of girls getting chocolate, gifts and flowers from the boys, Japanese girls GIVE chocolate gift to the boys they like the most!
During this time of the year, you see so many chocolate-gift advertisements and campaigns everywhere (like in columns on women’s magazines, TV commercials, on the radio, posters on trains, etc.!)
Here are some handmade chocolate-gift suggestions on Muji website, one of the large chain stores for consumer products in japan. They sell cooking/baking kits for Valentine’s gift givers, so that the ladies can make their home-made chocolate gifts to make their husbands, boyfriends, and boyfriend-to-be’s happy.
