If you haven't heard, Japan doesnt celebrate Valentines Day like we do in the US, where it has been comon practice in Japan during Valentines Day for women give men chocolate on that day. However, chocolate isnt quite, well, you know--- MANLY. Well, the MANLY MEN OF Japanator Society (which consists of me, Jartone and Tim) have discovered a new great way to have Chocolate and still retain our manly qualities: CHOCOLATE TOOLS!!

Rakuten is selling chocolate shaped like tools from Kobe Frantz, a premium sweets company from Japan, as part of their 2009 Valentine Selection. This is isnt some cheesy novelty chocolate either, each piece is finely detailed and and made from premium chocolate sold from 1260 yen to 3150 yen (about $15 to $36). Women who plan to give their special man chocolate this Valentines should heed that REAL MEN only accept MANLY CHOCOLATE because their burning passion canmelt it away.

Now if only they made licorice tool belts. [update] ...and choclate drills.

[Thanks, Yin]
