February 2010 for Members

Valentine's Day at Moshi Moshi

In Japan, the sexes are famously divided by codes of etiquette, language, and social obligation. Even Valentine’s Day (the day when girls give boys chocolate) is segregated from White Day (when boys give girls lingerie) by a month. That’s chocolate for the man the woman is serious about. But there is another category of chocolate gifts – giri choco. Giri choco is given by women to their superiors at work as well as to other male co-workers. It is not unusual for a woman to buy 20 to 30 boxes of this type of chocolate for distribution around the office as well as to men that she has regular contact with. A woman will normally purchase boxes of giri choco in the several hundred yen range and may purchase an expensive box of honmei choco and another gift such as a necktie for her "special someone".

While all of this may seem quite one-sided, confectioners in Japan - never ones to miss an opportunity to sell more - took advantage of the Japanese feelings of obligation and created "White Day" in 1980 to help assuage the guilt feelings of those poor obligated males who received chocolate on Valentine's Day.

Get cosy over a steaming hot bowl of nabe with your loved one at Moshi Moshi, and we’ll make your day special with our giri choco
