Día de san Valentín en Japón (Valentine's Day in Japan)

On February 14, is a special day for Japanese girls. Why? Because is a day that gives them the opportunity to confess his love for the guy who truly love .

that day, girls give chocolates to boys. "Chocolate Gift" is an invention of a Japanese company famous candy called "Morozoff" in the 1930s.

For most of the girls who are 10 to 18 years old that day is very spatial. Since a few months earlier among girls to talk about the man gave her chocolate each, and what kind of chocolates, when, in what situations and where etc etc ... This conversation is very typical in this season.

Although this practice began the twentieth century, one might say that it is part of Japanese culture. The originality of "Valentine Day" in Japan I think is:

(1) Only gives chocolate (nothing else)

(2) Only woman to man (not vice versa)

(3 ) is considered as one day to confess love of women was

man (4) There is no religious

The Chocolate that is given to the guy who truly loves, is called " Honmei-Choco " ( 本命 チョコ ) . " Honmei " means "true" and "choco " means "Chocolate." You can provide only a "Honmei-Choco." The boy, receives and accepts the independent chocolate if you also love her or not. But a month later, on March 14, would have to declare their feelings. That day is called "White Day " (White Day) and is considered a compensation day "Valentine Day". When the boy wants to reject his love, gives him nothing, but when you accept it, gives him a box of candy.

The "Valentine Day" is a celebration of chocolate, love story, as the girls give chocolate to male friends also. Chocolate that is called Giri-Choco " ( 義理 チョコ )

. "Giri " means "Courtesy" is, the complimentary chocolate.

also good girls, they give chocolates to their father. But in most cases, are expecting a great gift for compensation on 14 March.

In the workplace, although naturally women no longer have 10 to 18 years old, it is customary to give chocolates to their male counterparts. And this custom becomes almost a "must", whether they are friendly or not, would have to give it away to get along with peers. In fact, on March 14, they will give away candy (or otherwise) to the colleagues, and are considered a form of "communication" in the world of work.

the past 10 years, the celebration of "Valentine Day" has changed a bit, and begin to treat yourself to chocolate among women (but not because they are lesbians!). This chocolate is called Tomo-Choc or ( 友 チョコ )

, "Volume" means friendship.

So in Japan, for years, say it consumes 20% of chocolate is normally consume in a year. A great deal for the candy companies ...
