White Day in Japan

Happy White Day Ladies *^_^*

In Japan, Valentine’s Day is celebrated February 14th and White Day is celebrated March 14th.

Generally Valentine’s Day is celebrated with romance and presents -mainly from men to women. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is the time women give men chocolates or cakes that they make and decorate themselves (but of course there is a HUGE variety of ready made things for purchase as well).

As a “thank you” or counter appreciation, the men give marshmallows or sweets to the ladies in March.

Of course it’s a brilliant marketing from the confectionery companies…..but with so many stunning delights available, I won’t complain!

    I don’t think my boyfriend would appreciate chocolates – he’s more of a beer man….!

    My friend in Japan a couple of years ago sent me chocolates. I was wondering why, and now I know!
