This is How Japan Celebrates Valentine!! Here is the Recent Popular Chocolate We Recommend!

02/02/2018

Do you know how Japanese people celebrates Valentine Day`s? Maybe some of you know, the Japanese custom how we celebrate Valentine is different to other countries. In most countries, a guy who already in couples give flowers to his girlfriend  is common. In Japan is opposite. It is a day for girls to tell their own feeling toward the person they love with handmade chocolate, and sending the obligatory chocolate for those who do not have any feelings.  However, recently this customs are changing. A lot of girls giving “Tomo-choco (tomo=friend choco=chocolate)” to their friends(include girl friends), families, and co-workers as well to give thankfulness.  

 

You know Japanese custom already through here that handmade is for person you like. If you come to Japan in this season, how about enjoying the Japanese traditional Valentine`s Day that is different from usual one? There are wide varieties of chocolates you may will not see in other countries; from gorgeous one, a chocolate combined with “WA”, with cute appearance, a chocolate that can make the person laugh and so on.  Today,  I want to focus on perfect obligatory chocolate that  can be handed over in each scene, to yourself, to friends and to families etc. Let's check it out!

 

Treat  for Yourself or To Girl Friends Morozoff Hitohira”Hohoemi” 7 Pieces

 

“Morozoff” is known as a pastry shop established in Kobe selling crispy handmade cookies and puddings.  The first beginning of “Morozoff” was as a chocolate shop in 1931.  In 1932,  they introduced the custom of "Giving chocolate on Valentine's Day" for the first time in Japan and now it is a Japanese culture these days. From “Morozoff” who is loved from such ancestry,  they are selling the cute flower motif chocolate!

Caffarel is a long established chocolate brand in Torino, Italy since 1826. All fourteen kinds, 20 pieces of chocolate are contained in a pretty blue can, including Caffarel popular  Gianduja. On the can, you can see children and cat playing happily at a shop in "Caffarel", and if you open it, as if there was a continuation of the story of drawing, it entered the world of fairy tales. I may can image the children are innocently playing with animals in the forest. It is a chocolate that can inflate imagination not just having it.   “Caffarel Fiocco Blue” , how do you want to describe the continuation of this story?

If you want to send a thank you message along with the chocolate, how about getting the "Black Thunder-obsessive chocolate package." There are 5 different messages written on the each  package. Also, "La · Black Thunder Minibar" contains 6 different types of  interesting messages such as  "Possibly Obligatory Chocolate" or "Misunderstandable" etc., it may be interesting to be handed out to your friends and colleagues.

It maybe hard to check the products on your own pace during the Valentine seasons due to crowdedness.  I recommend that you narrow down the items you want in advance. I have introduced the items that is on the market, but  I feel it will be nice you can challenge and handed over your own handmade chocolate to your love ones too!
