In Japan, Valentine’s Day is celebrated by women getting special treats for the men — especially chocolate. Last year, Rocket News announced that Valentine’s Day in Japan included a limited edition box of chocolate donut treats from Krispy Kreme with three flavors. For 2,000 yen, or US $20, you got your choice of three flavors to complete your rich chocolate dozen. Included were the roasted almond, raspberry, strawberry cake, and caramel with chocolate cream.

According to WHAS11 News, to kick off the 2015 Valentine’s Day donut boxes, Krispy Kreme hired five artists to create special advertising. Hailing from the U.K. and America, participating Krispy Kreme’s will be displaying the Valentine’s Day work that these artists created on a rotating basis.

Krispy Kreme announced on their website that there will be a new shape in the 2015 Valentine’s Day boxes at Krispy Kreme: The Luv Bug. No news was posted about whether or not the Japanese Valentine’s Day donut flavors would be offered to American customers or vice versa.
