Kakuhidou: Difference between revisions

On Valentines day women buy chocolate and pralines for the men that they like.  The men are then judged based on the quanitity of chocolate they receive.  On White Day men are supposed to give return gifts to women who gifted them chocolates on Valentine’s Day. More often the color of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. Flowers, candies and other gifts are also popular along with the chocolates. Department stores have many advanced reminders with gift displays so men will have no excuse to forget about this special day which is important for women.  Men are expected to give at least three times as much as the women gave.  This rule is called sanbai gaeshi or 'triple the return'.
