Remember. it's pronounced "Go-dee-va" in Japan. But the CEO, head chef, and official website pronounce it "Go-dy-va" as in the name of the woman they got their inspiration from.

I feel like experiment sometime (with foods, etc) and recently I have found a way to make a bowl with chocolate using an inflated balloon and deflate it afterwards. Stuff that with gummy candy (another one of my experiments). Though, my wife find the candy too chewy. BTW, I see cooking as nothing but chemical experiment.

White Day really has no meaning, other than commercialism - an excuse for spending money, instead of demonstrating true love. Stick with Valentine's Day and make it mutual, instead of just women buying something for men.

My wife is always saying "This is Japan, you have to do (whatever)" So I gave in to the hype and bought her a heart-shaped chocolate cake with 24 Karat sprinkles on top. But I'm still waiting for MY Valentine's chocolate.

The looks like the equivalent of stopping off at a petrol station to get a bunch of flowers 'cos you forgot it was Valentine's Day.

Japanese obsession to Valentine Day ritual is amazing. I personally have nothing against , but a box of chocolate in Japan is very expensive. You know a true meaning of Valentine's Day has been distorted by greedy merchants for marketing purpose. White Chocolate is only in Japan. I have seen oyaji managers were picking up more than 20 boxes of White Girichoco. It is really losing a true meaning of Valentine's Day.

I am making white chocolate chip cookies for my oldest son to give to his girlfriend.

Probably guys punching above their weight relationship-wise, and have to make an effort with stuff like this so they don't get dumped.
