Many countries celebrate Valentine's Day differently, and Japan is no exception. Read on to learn more about how the Japanese way to celebrate Valentine's Day and the full lineup of Starbucks Japan Valentine’s Day collections and limited beverages!

Valentine's Day in Japan

Valentine's Day is particularly well-liked in Japan! There is much to enjoy, including chocolate and flowers. Typically, males are the ones that give gifts like flower bouquets, jewelry, love letters, and occasionally, a box of chocolates to go along with the major gift to their female friends and family members. However, since these activities take place on December 24, considered the most romantic day of the year in Japan, they do not occur on Valentine's Day. On February 14, Valentine's Day in Japan, only women give chocolate gifts. When they gave the chocolate, they used to make a statement. However, not all chocolates are created equally. The women offer two different sorts of chocolate. One type is "Giri-choco," which are ready-made, obligatory chocolates that you can offer to loved ones or friends in a non-romantic style. These chocolates are more of an obligated gift for loved ones to show that you care because the word "Giri-choco" implies "obligation chocolate."

On the other hand are Honmei chocolates. Honmei-choco is a gift that girls offer to their romantic interests or to their romantic partners. These sweets are usually handcrafted or more expensive chocolates. In addition, Honmei is the one chocolate you should give to someone you like or are in love with, such as your lover or husband. It approximately translates to "favorite" or "first choice." It's highly popular to purchase pricey "Honmei chocolates" to convey how special your present is. However, some Japanese women go above and above and even start to have their own chocolate-making supplies and make chocolate known as tomo choco!
