Valentine's Day in Japan

   Valentine's Day in Japan is slightly different then in the states. It's pretty much the same when it comes to being with the one you love and giving delicious chocolates. As a matter of fact that's exactly what it is. In Japan, it is custom to give the important men you love chocolate. Chocolate candies, chocolate cake or even cookies, but it's all about the chocolate. In fact, it's so important to give chocolates to the leading gentlemen that they had a chocolate gallery in one of the department stores downtown. Here are some of the incredible looking chocolates! Some of them are extremely expensive and others are still reasonable priced.
   Japan also has another Valentine's day on March 14th. On this day it is custom to have the men give their important ladies chocolates. I will let you know if it ends up being as big of a holiday as February 14th...

This is the entrance to the gallery of Chocolate...

I think these ones looked the coolest! They look like the plants. From this photo it's hard to tell what is chocolate and what isn't. Click on the photo to get a better picture.

Here are some cool looking animals. these are all 3D shapes by the way. Oh and I got the price tag in this one. 2,100 Y is about $28.00

I loved the detail on these Japanese art chocolates. I didn't get the best photo and the detail is slightly washed out, but if you click on it you can see it bigger. They are so beautiful, I don't think I could eat them!
