In overseas countries, March 14th, known as White Day, is mostly unfamiliar, but in Japan, it's an exciting day when boys return the favor to girls for the chocolates received on Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day, giving chocolates is the mainstream, but the returns on White Day vary and include cookies, chocolates, and more. These return gifts of sweets are said to conceal various feelings towards the girls. We've investigated the meanings behind the White Day return sweets, which are not very well known even among Japanese people.
