Celebrate Valentine's Day 2026 with Black Thunder!

Yuraku Confectionery Co., Ltd., based in Koda, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce the launch of its limited-edition Valentine’s products, "Namaburakku Sandaa GREAT SELECTIONS" and "Burakku Sandaa GREAT Gâteau Chocolat," starting from January 15, 2026. The company aims to reinvent the way we celebrate this special day, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Evolving Valentine's Traditions

In recent years, the approach to Valentine’s Day has diversified significantly. While many still cherish the tradition of gifting loved ones with chocolates, the enjoyment of tasting delectable chocolate or even relishing homemade treats has become increasingly popular. However, rising cocoa prices and the declining trend of "obligation chocolates" due to COVID-19 have distanced some people from participating in Valentine's Day events. To address these modern challenges, Black Thunder is committed to providing delicious chocolates that are affordable and easy for everyone to enjoy, encouraging people to embrace Valentine's Day as a moment of joy.

Not only will the exclusive products be available, but Yuraku has also planned exciting events for the Valentine's season. With daily social media campaigns and home recipe ideas, Black Thunder aims to create a personalized, fun-filled Valentine’s experience.
