So tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! If you’re living in Japan, you might need to make or buy some chocolates as a “Giri-choco”, or obligation chocolate that is meant to be a gift for friends, colleagues, bosses, and close male friends. This is a popular culture that you won’t find in any other country. So, if you haven’t make your own homemade chocolates, don’t worry, you can always shop at the nearest konbini or convenience store. Happy shopping!
