Hidden Truths: The Secrets of Modern Japanese Women Will Surprise You!
White Day: How Japanese Men Return the Favor
In Japan, after receiving thoughtful handmade chocolates from women on Valentine’s Day, men get their chance to reciprocate the gesture on another special occasion. Without mentioning the name explicitly, let’s call it the “Sweet Return Day.” Celebrated on March 14, men shower the women who gifted them chocolates with thoughtful presents.
These “giri-chocolates” are repaid with “sanbai gaeshi” (three times the value) in gifts like jewelry, flowers, and sweets. This unique two-part celebration is a charming tradition that completes the circle of affection, ensuring that both sides feel appreciated and cherished in this unique Japanese exchange of love and appreciation.
