Valentine's Day in Japan

In Japan, only women give presents, mainly chocolates to men on Valentine's Day. These gifts are classified into three types: "giri choco" which means an obligatory chocolate for the woman's fellow workers and superiors, "honmei choco" which means a chocolate for the man the woman loves seriously and "tomo choco" which means a chocolate for the woman's female friends.

These pieces of chocolate consist of couverture chocolates by Valrhona and by Callebaut, hazelnuts, walnuts, raisins and ground black peppers. They are my honmei choco!
