How Romantic! Chocolate With Your Face!

Using your 3D image, the FabCafe makes a silicon mold and you can give chocolate truffles in the image of your head/face this Valentine's Day!  You get to keep the silicon mold, hmm... I wonder what else you could make!

The current event is for woman only in preparation for Valentine's Day (In Japan, the men get the gifts on Valentine's Day)  The men will get their turn to turn their face into chocolate come White Day (March 14th) when it is time to give your lady friend her gift!

Pretty awesome idea, I wonder if we will see it outside Japan!

White Day- Valentine's for the Ladies!

White Day is the day the men repay the women back with gifts for the previous month's holiday- Valentine's Day. Read more here: Valentine's Day

In Japan, you can see many couples spending a romantic night out- and the gifts the ladies receive are typically more expensive than the gifts the ladies give on Valentine's day- and that is how it should be!

Happy Valentine's Day From Rinkya!!

In Japan, the ladies pony up the gifts for the man on Valentine's Day.
The most common gift is chocolate and the two given are called- giri choco and honmei choco.

Giri choco is obligatory chocolate, and in a polite society such as Japan these are neccesary to give to your male co-workers and such.

Honmei choco is the chocolate you give your love. Other gifts may be purchased for Valentine's Day, but not to the extent of US culture.

The men return the favor one month later on March 14th, White Day!
