A Rich History of Valentine's Celebrations

Black Thunder's tradition of Valentine’s events began back in 2013, aiming to advocate for the playful side of giving chocolates even under the guise of “obligation.” This concept has evolved as the culture around Valentine’s Day changed, shifting toward self-gifting and enjoyment, which Black Thunder wholeheartedly supports with their unique chocolate bars renowned for their crunch and substantial value.

The Black Thunder brand, born in 1994, is synonymous with its delicious, crunchy chocolate, making it a favorite among chocolate lovers throughout Japan. As they gear up for this year’s Valentine’s Day, their mission remains to create fun, memorable experiences that truly satisfy both hearts and appetites.

Join Black Thunder to celebrate love, joy, and chocolate in 2026!
