In Japan Valentine is not celebrated as in Europe or North America. In Japan, on Valentine day girls are supposed to offer chocolates to boys. It can extend to nonlovers  too: offering chocolate to your colleagues  etc… Not to say that the chocolate business is at its climax and prices are skyrocketing. So a lot of people make their own chocolates and you can find all the necessary goodies in any supermarket. <\/p>\n

Since I have a chocolate addict husband I can assure you the Japanese Valentine pleases him very much, and if we’ve never celebrated Valentine before we were in Japan, now I always try to prepare something. Usually it’s chocolate truffles, and this year again that’s what I’m preparing.<\/div>\n
The recipe is simple and there is no possible way to make it wrong: melt 125g of dark chocolate with 40g of butter, then add 1 egg yolk, 40g of ice sugar, vanilla, stir well and keep refrigirated for 1h or 2h. Once the ganache is hard ise a spoon and roll some in yours hand then in cacao. You adjust the size to your taste.<\/div>\n
