Given that it's not a custom in English-speaking countries, I don't think it matters too much what we call it. |

Valentine's Day: Japan falling out of love with 'obligation chocolates'

Japanese women push back against Valentine's tradition of 'obligation chocolate'
https://us.jnto.go.jp/blog/valentines-day-white-day-in-japan/
"There is a strong tradition of women giving chocolates to men on Valentines Day. There are two types of chocolates, “Giri-
choco” (obligation chocolate), and “Honmei-choco”. Giri-choco is meant to be for friends, colleagues, bosses, and close male
friends. “Giri” means obligation hence this Giri-choco has no romance involved. " |

Yeah, on second thought the original gloss was better.
I don't think we need "obligation chocolate". |

I agree. "obligation chocolate" needs lit. as it's not a proper English word. |
