Chocolate for Valentine's Day On Valentine's Day in Japan, it's common for women to give chocolates to men. Japanese women buy or make chocolate sweets for their co-workers, bosses, male friends, brothers, father, husbands, boyfriends, and so on. In recent years, many Japanese young women exchange chocolate gifts with their female friends. Enjoy making chocolate sweets for Valentine's Day.
