With retail outlets pushing seasonal holiday merchandise earlier and earlier every year, it’s perhaps not too surprising that there are already signs of next year’s goodies.
Department store Ginza Mitsukoshi has unveiled its 2016 Valentine’s Day sweets lineup, which includes sushi-shaped chocolates, planets, ties… and chocolates themed after Neon Genesis Evangelion.
You can check out a video of the announcement from Nippon News Network.
An exact release date will be revealed at a later time.
