In Japan, women are the ones who give chocolate to their loved ones and each chocolate is special in its own way. Here, Nadeshiko offers Saito “Giri Choco”, a chocolate that we reserve for our colleagues, family members and acquaintances.🍫

If you’re bringing home or cooking chocolate today, watch out for your fluffy and feathery friends! Indeed, chocolate ingested in considerable quantities could be fatal for your pets.😞 If ingested, it is best to keep them under observation for signs of food poisoning. 👀
