こんにちは。I made chocolates on Valentine's day.

Almost of Japanese girls made a lot of chocolates or cookies like these pictures, and then they exchange that at school on Valentine's day. 
This is called 友チョコ(Tomo choco).
★友達(Friends)+チョコレート(Chocolate)=友チョコ

There are a lot of Valentine's chocolates in Japan
・本命チョコ (Honmei choco) for boyfriend, husband or someone you love 


・義理チョコ(Girichoco) for colleagues or someone you tdon' love


・友チョコ(Tomo choco) for friends 

・逆チョコ(Gyaku choco) from men to women（Generally, women give men a chocolate in Japan）


In the lessons of daily conversation, let's talk about culture of Japan and your country!
