Belgian confectioner maker says enough is enough with Japan’s practice of women giving male coworkers “obligation chocolate.”
Valentine’s Day
Hokkaido-based chocolatier Royce‘s limited-edition Valentine’s Day chocolates will have you salivating, and dusting off your Gollum impression.
Made from ruby cocoa beans, this new “fourth type of chocolate” promises a whole new Kit Kat flavour experience.
Popular series’ title refers to a prince, but he’s also the king of Valentine’s Day chocolate.
These sweets are so delicate and time-consuming to make that only five sets will be produced each day.
Gather around and listen to the tale of Discreet Relationship; the most gosh darn precious biker gang Japan has ever seen.
The comic’s handsome men might not have such slender, athletic builds if they actually ate all those sweets.
