Honmei Choco (本命チョコ), literally, "true feeling chocolate" in Japanese.
Honmei choco is chocolate given by women on Valentine's day to men whom the giver has romantic feelings for. This is often given to boyfriends, prospective boyfriends, and husbands.
Honmei chocolate is higher-quality and more expensive than giri choco ("obligation chocolate").
Giri choco is given to male coworkers and other men to whom the woman has no romantic attachment.[1]
Homemade honmei choco is also popular.[2]
This is generally reciprocated on White day, celebrated on March 14th, when men buy candy and gifts for women.
Giri choco (義理チョコ, literally, "obligation chocolate" in Japanese) is chocolate given by women to men on Valentine's day
in Japan.
It is a relatively cheap type of chocolate women give to male
co-workers, casual acquaintances, and others to whom they have no
strong attachment.[1][2]
Giri choco is lower-quality than honmei choco (more expensive chocolates women give to their romantic partners).[citation needed]
Men generally reciprocate by giving women cookies and other gifts on White Day, celebrated on March 14.
