Happy Valentine's Day

Though Valentine's Day is not a traditional Japanese holiday, it has been embraced by the country. On this day, women give chocolates to men. Men reciprocate on March 14--White Day.
There are two kinds for chocolate-giving: girichoko (obligation chocolates), when the sweets are given to office mates and friends; and honmeichoko (real chocolates), which are given to loved ones.
I prefer dark chocolate myself.
