March 14, White Day, an oft-queried calendar date, is claimed to have been initiated by popular Hakata confectioner Ishimura Manseido in 1977 by way of suggesting men to give marshmallows in return for the Valentine’s Day chocolates they received the month before. As other confectionary companies joined the bandwagon, the day became known simply as White Day, but it started here in Fukuoka! What do you think about White Day? If you’re a man, will you be giving a White Day gift today? If you’re a woman, did get something nice? Happy White Day from the team at Fukuoka Now!
