White Valentine s Day

Latest Update News:-White Day is a holiday celebrated on March 14, one month after Valentine’s Day. In Japan this is a widespread holiday, much like Valentine’s Day. It is also observed in South Korea.

In Japan, Valentine’s Day is observed by females who present chocolate gifts (either store-bought or handmade), usually to a male, as an expression of love. The handmade chocolate is usually preferred by the receiver, because it is a sign that the receiving male is the girl’s “only one”. On White Day, the converse happens: males who received a “honmei-choco” (chocolate of love) or “giri-choco” (chocolate of courtesy) on Valentine’s Day are expected to return the favour by giving gifts, usually more expensive. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts are white chocolate, lingerie, cookies, marshmallows as well as jewelry and stuffed animals. Sometimes the term “sanbai gaeshi” (literally, “thrice the return”) is used to describe the general rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine’s gift.

White Day is also observed in South Korea, with an additional later Black Day observed for those sharing singleness. Black Day (April 14) is a South Korean informal tradition for single people to get together and eat “jajangmyeon” (noodles with black bean sauce.) Sometimes a white sauce is mixed for those who did not celebrate White Day.

Exactly one month from Valentines day, March 14th, Korea celebrates ‘White Day’.

“On White Day, the converse happens: males who receive chocolate on Valentine’s Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts, usually more expensive. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts are cookies, jewelry, white chocolate, white lingerie and marshmallows. Sometimes the term sanbai gaeshi (literally, “thrice the return”) is used to describe the generally recited rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine’s gift.”
