I was quite surprised that it wasn’t celebrated largely as Valentine’s Days. I went to many stores that had small displays but no where near to the level that Valentine’s Day displays. I was also surprised that many of the chocolates were brown instead of white like I had told by many they would be.

Our favorite grocery store had the first display up that I could find. Where before there were two rows on Valentine’s day, for White Day there was an end cap and one side of a row. I also noticed that the most of the candies seem to be directed towards children.

At YouMe Town they had a rather large display but again it was mostly geared towards children. Also the only non-edible items for white day were boxes of women’s underwear. I did not take pictures of these because I was already getting dirty looks from an elderly couple for taking pictures of the candy.

Last week while in Hiroshima I saw a cookie store that had speciality cookies for White Day. While each of the boxes were different on the outside, they all had the same cookies n the inside. The cookies were quite good with flavors like strawberry chocolate chip, apple custard, cornflake chocolate chip, and strawberry milk.

Other than a message from Facebook, Jeremy and I didn’t really celebrate White Day. Maybe next year we will celebrate the two holidays like the Japanese.
