CLASSIC BLACK THUNDER FLAVORS
These chocolate bars have the same size and shape as the original Black Thunder. What sets them apart are the ingredients that Yuraku puts into each and every one of them. Sometimes Yuraku changes the chocolate base of the Black Thunder bar, sometimes the company swaps the cocoa cookies and crisps for different ingredients. Let’s take a bite into these different Black Thunder chocolate bars and learn more about them!
Black Thunder (ブラックサンダー)
This is the classic Black Thunder chocolate bar that Japanese snackers know and love! It has a thick dark chocolate base mixed with cocoa biscuits and rice puffs. Fans enjoy the heftiness of this delicious chocolate snack!
Black Thunder Gold (ブラックサンダーゴールド)
Instead of using dark chocolate, this special choco bar uses chocolate infused with the tropical taste of coconut. It also swaps out the thick cocoa cookies for chocolate chips and desiccated coconut bits! According to Japanese snack enthusiasts, this choco bar has a sweetness that’s more mellow than the regular Black Thunder.
Black Thunder Hōjicha Latte (ブラックサンダーほうじ茶ラテ)
Hojicha is roasted Japanese green tea made from mature tea stalks and leaves. Using special Kaga Bocha Hojicha powder roasted in the Ishikawa prefecture, Black Thunder Hojicha Latte chocolate bars go perfectly with a cup of tea. This variety of Black Thunder mixes together cocoa cookies, plain biscuits, and Hojicha cake batter.
Black Thunder Matcha Azuki (ブラックサンダー抹茶あずき)
This Black Thunder bar is definitely a hefty treat! Adding to its regular mix of crushed cookies and rice crisps, Black Thunder Matcha Azuki uses matcha biscuits freshly baked in Yuraku’s factory! Not only that, but it also has freeze-dried red beans from Hokkaido too.
Banana no Thunder (バナナのサンダー)
A popular Black Thunder variant, this choco bar is made with half-coated banana chocolate, banana chips, and crunchy biscuits. It’s an addictive treat that balances the taste of bananas and chocolates! Japanese snackers love that the packaging of the Banana no Thunder bar showcases a hungry gorilla dressed in a banana suit! Cute!
Matcha no Thunder (抹茶のサンダー)
Released in 2023, this Black Thunder chocolate bar was created after Yuraku saw an increased demand for matcha products. A distinctive Japanese flavor, Matcha no Thunder combines the taste of Uji Matcha together with dark chocolate. It gives a nice traditional Japanese twist to the classic Black Thunder!
Milk Thunder (ミルクサンダー)
Some chocolate lovers aren’t too fond of dark chocolate. In response, Yuraku created Milk Thunder, a snack bar that combines white chocolate with butter cookies made from Hokkaido Milk. Its packaging showcases a funny picture of a cow!
Black Thunder Blissful Butter (ブラックサンダー 至福のバター)
The classic Black Thunder may already be filling on its own, but this chocolate bar is on a different level. Using French fermented butter and crushed-up bits of butter cookies, Black Thunder Blissful Butter melts in your mouth when you bite into it. Not only that, but it also has cashew nuts that give it an even richer flavor.
Black Thunder Graceful Hazelnut (ブラックサンダー優雅なヘーゼルナッツ)
A luxurious Black Thunder chocolate bar, this treat adds hazelnuts to the usual cookie and crisp combination of the brand. It even has two different kinds of hazelnuts - candy-coated hazelnuts and hazelnut paste. That way Japanese snackers get the most out of the hazelnut experience!
Almond no Thunder (アーモンドのサンダー)
Like the name implies, this choco bar has roasted almonds in it. It also uses milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. That way it compliments the taste of almonds better. Yuraku’s newest recipe for Almond no Thunder has 14% more roasted almonds than before. It also introduces a fun almond-themed character in the packaging!
Ichigo no Thunder (いちごのサンダー)
Whoever said that Black Thunder has to be limited to regular chocolate? This snack bar mixes together dark chocolate and strawberry chocolate together. Besides the regular rice crisps, Ichigo no Thunder has a mix of strawberry chips that add a sweet and sour accent.
Corn Potage Thunder (コーンポタージュサンダー)
Soup and chocolate might sound like an odd mix, but Corn Potage Thunder has been considered pretty addictive by Black Thunder fans. The mellow sweet and salty flavor of corn potage translates really well with chocolate! Not only that, but this choco bar has three types of rice puffs that enhance its texture.
Morning Thunder (モーニングサンダー)
Introduced in January 2011, the Morning Thunder was marketed as a breakfast bar. Fortified with extra protein, this Black Thunder bar is mixed with cinnamon-flavored cookies, peanuts, and soybean puffs to make it extra filling.
Morning Only Black Thunder (朝専用ブラックサンダー)
Inspired by a post on Japanese social media by fans with the caption “eating Black Thunder for breakfast,” Yuraku decided to create another chocolate bar meant to be eaten during the morning. Morning Only Black Thunder adds caffeine to the classic choco bar by mixing in coffee powder, bitter chocolate chips, and coconut. It has a rich chocolate taste with mellow sweetness!
Black Black Thunder (黒のブラックサンダー)
There’s Black Thunder, and then there’s Black Black Thunder! Made for dark chocolate lovers who enjoy a much more bitter taste, this snack bar uses bitter chocolate that enhances the deep flavor of cacao. Not only that but it’s also mixed with chocolate chips made with a blend of three different types of cacao mass. It’s a bold and bitter chocolate bar!
Black Thunder Adult Premium (ブラックサンダー 大人のプレミアム)
The only alcoholic Black Thunder chocolate bar, this special treat was made especially for adults.

Created as the perfect spring snack bar, Honey Butter Thunder combines jelly-like honey, bran biscuits, and butter-flavored chocolate chips together. This unique Black Thunder has a crumbly and gentle texture.
Yaki-Tōmorokoshi Thunder (焼きともろこしサンダー)
Yaki-Tomorokoshi or roasted corn is a popular treat in Japanese festivals. Hoping to recreate this staple snack, Yuraku created the Yaki-Tomorokoshi Thunder chocolate bar. This snack bar is made with freeze-dried corn and charred soy sauce so that you can enjoy the taste of roasted corn from the very first bite.
Ikemen Thunder (イケマンサンダー)
In 2017, Yuraku decided to create one of the most unique Black Thunder chocolate bars, the Ikemen Thunder. This snack bar mixes together chocolate with “Iketeru noodles.” It might sound odd, but the chicken-flavored snack noodles add texture and saltiness to the chocolate. Ikemen Thunder gets its name from Japanese wordplay. Ikemen can mean handsome men (the server your see on the packaging) and men can also mean noodles!
Black Thunder Black Sundae (ブラックサンダーならぬ ブラックサンデー)
Released in 2021, this Black Thunder variant is the first of its kind in which the chocolate coating can only be found at the bottom of the bar. It tries to combine the smooth taste of soft serve ice cream with the crunchiness of classic Black Thunder chocolate.
Kinako Thunder (きなこサンダー)
Kinako is soybean powder that’s often used in many Japanese desserts. This Black Thunder bar tries to recreate the taste of Kinako by using two different kinds of rice puffs. The first is brown rice puff and the second is soybean puff! Kinako Thunder also has a delicious chocolate base made with kinako powder from tanba black soybeans and Hokkaido soybeans.
Black Thunder VOLT (ブラックサンダーVOLT)

Black Thunder Gold Mini-bar (ブラックサンダーゴールドミニバー)
The mini-bar version of Black Thunder Gold, these tasty treats use chocolate infused with coconut. Like its classic-sized brother, Black Thunder Gold Mini-Bar has chocolate chips and desiccated coconut bits.

Kaki no Tane Thunder Mini-bar (柿の種サンダーミニバー)
In Japan, Kaki no Tane is a rice cracker shaped like persimmon seeds. This unique pack of Black Thunder mini-bars is made with mellow milk chocolate, crispy kaki no tane rice crackers, and delicious crisp puffs. It’s really crunchy to eat and a bit spicy!
Toyohashi Black Thunder Mini-bar (豊橋ブラックサンダーミニバー)

BIG THUNDER FLAVORS
Sometimes classic Black Thunder isn’t enough, especially after a grueling day at work or at school. That’s why Yuraku decided to create Big Thunder for extra-hungry Japanese snackers! Each Big Thunder piece is twice the length and width of the original bar (though it’s half the thickness). Big Thunder has the slogan “Deliciousness! Size! Double the Lightning Strike!”
Big Thunder (ビッグサンダー)
Big Thunder might not taste that much different from the classic Black Thunder, but it has a special texture. That’s because this chocolate bar is made with 2 different types of cocoa, 3 types of chocolate, and special cacao mass that’s blended in-house by Yuraku. According to the company, Big Thunder has a “crunchy texture that melts in your mouth.”
Big Thunder Coconut (ビッグサンダーココナッツ)
A big chocolate bar, this dark chocolate has a subtle sweetness to it. Not only is the chocolate infused with coconut but this snack bar is combined with crushed-up coconut cookies and rice crisps. It’s a little bit hard to find these days though!
BLACK THUNDER PRETTY STYLE FLAVORS
This variant of Black Thunder was probably named Pretty Style since they’re small and easy to eat. Black Thunder Pretty Style also has a lot of special flavors. They usually come in resealable pouches so you can snack as much as you need!
Black Thunder Pretty Style (ブラックサンダープリティスタイル)
The very first Pretty Style chocolate bar snack pouch to come out of Yuraku, these bite-sized treats retain the crunch and flavor of the original Black Thunder. It’s much easier to eat since they’re much smaller than the classic chocolate bar!
Black Thunder Pretty Style Caramel (ブラックサンダープリティスタイル味わいキャラメル)
Another bite-sized Black Thunder pouch, Black Thunder Pretty Style Caramel is a great snack for sharing. Each piece uses caramel from Italy with a rich complex flavor. You don’t have to worry about the chocolate sticking to your hands as Yuraku improved the mixture so you can eat it perfectly!

Black Thunder Pretty Style Mint Choco Chip (ブラックサンダープリティスタイル チョコミント)
Mint Choco Chip used to be a limited-edition flavor sold by Yuraku in 2018. Because of popular demand, the flavor came back! Combining together mint-flavored chocolate chips and corn flakes, this snack bar is lighter and more refreshing compared to the classic Black Thunder. Snackers also like chilling it in the refrigerator.
GOTOCHI BLACK THUNDER FLAVORS
When traveling around the country, Japanese people love bringing home gotochi or souvenirs for their families. This includes tasty snacks and food! Hoping to join in on the gotochi food market, Yuraku developed region-specific Black Thunder. Hop on the wagon because we’re going to learn about all the fun special flavors!
White Thunder (ホワイトサンダー)
Made in celebration of White Black Thunder’s 10th anniversary, this chocolate bar showcases a condensed version of the “intensity of Hokkaido.” Not only does it use more Hokkaido milk and cashew nuts in comparison to the regular White Black Thunder, but it also has additional mix-ins.

BLACK THUNDER COLLABORATION BARS
Being a popular chocolate snack in Japan, it should come as no surprise that other companies would want to work together with Black Thunder. These special flavors are the result of fun Black Thunder collaborations! Let’s get to learn more about them!
Black Thunder Namcola (ブラックサンダー ナムコーラ味)
A product stemming from a collab between Bandai Namco and Yuraku, this special Black Thunder bar gives the brand its very first cola flavor.

The choco bar is named after a mix of the words Namco and Cola.
Frugra Thunder (フルグラ®サンダー)
This special chocolate bar comes from a team-up between Yuraku and Calbee. It mixes together Black Thunder with Calbee’s Frugra granola.

Dear Girl Thunder ( Dear Girl サンダ)
Yuraku collaborated with the radio show “Dear Girl Stories with Hiroshi Kamiya and Daisuke Ono” in 2009 to create this chocolate bar.

SPECIAL BLACK THUNDER VARIANTS
These Black Thunder bars are pretty unique. Some have special textures, some even don’t look like chocolate bars! Some of these variants aren’t snack bars at all but instead bars of ice cream! Let’s learn more about them.
Raw Black Thunder (生ブラックサンダー)
A special type of Black Thunder bar, Raw Black Thunder is only made available during Valentine's. It’s made with cocoa cookies, plain biscuits, white chocolate made with French milk, and a special raw chocolate ganache made with fresh Hokkaido cream. This chocolate bar also uses coca from Ghana, Trinidad, and Tobago to give it a unique, raw, taste.
Black Thunder Dark Matter (ブラックサンダーダークマター)
Released in 2016, Black Thunder Dark Matter runs a bit longer than the classic Black Thunder. Weighing 56g, this chocolate bar is 12 centimeters in length. It has big chocolate chunks inspired by “dark matter.” These chunks are made with cacao from Madagascar, giving the Black Thunder bar sweet and sour flavor notes.
Black Thunder Next Gear (ブラックサンダーネクストギア)
Like Dark Matter, this Black Thunder bar is longer than normal so fans can get more out of their snack session! It’s an extra nutty bar with roasted almonds, sugar-coated almonds, and almond biscuits. That way snackers get more protein when they eat it.
Black Thunder Pink Gray Zone (ブラックサンダーのピンクなグレーゾーン)
Black Thunder fans find this flavor a bit confusing. Some wonder whether its strawberry or whether it’s plum. This chocolate bar however, is pink grapefruit flavored. It has a citrusy scent, sour flavor notes, and a faint grapefruit peel bitterness as an aftertaste. Orange-loving snackers do enjoy this flavor!
Black Thunder Gold Cafe (ブラックサンダー・ゴールドカフェ)
This is the first ever adult coffee flavor in the Black Thunder brand. Retaining the unique crunchy texture of the classic Black Thunder, this snack bar tries to balance the rich taste of chocolate and coffee.
Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder Azuki (もちもちブラックサンダーあずき)
Mochi is a special Japanese dessert made from glutinous rice powder. Hoping to recreate the chewy texture of mochi, Yuraku decided to create Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder. It has a gummy-like texture that’s very different from the classic Black Thunder. This flavor of Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder has bits of azuki or Japanese red beans.
Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder Kinako (もちもちブラックサンダー きなこ)
Like the first Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder, this chocolate bar has a chewy and gummy texture that makes it super interesting to eat! Besides the regular rice crisps found in classic Black Thudner bars, this treat has bits of kinako or dried soybean powder.
Mochi-Mochi Black Thunder Matcha (もちもちブラックサンダー )
This matcha-flavored chocolate bar has a chewy texture similar to mochi, round Japanese rice treats. It has crushed up matcha biscuits and chewy gummies in it. Snackers say they love the scent of matcha tea when they open up the bar!
Black Thunder Ice Cream ( ブラックサンダーアイスクリーム)
Just like the name implies, this is the ice cream version of Black Thunder. Fans say that it really stays true to the classic chocolate bar. Not only does it have the same amount of lumpy cacao cookies, but it's heavy and filling. This treat is perfect when you want to binge on a hearty ice cream treat on a hot day.
Black Thunder Choco Mint Ice (ブラックサンダーチョコミントアイス)
Chocolate and mint always go really well together. This Black Thunder ice cream bar combines milky mint ice cream with Black Thunder cocoa cookies. It’s refreshing and crunchy at the same time! We wonder why Yuraku hasn’t created a Chocolate Mint flavor for the actual Black Thunder series yet.
Filling, tasty, and full of fun surprises, the Black Thunder brand certainly has a lot to offer Japanese snackers. While most people are familiar with the classic Black Thunder, it’s interesting to see that this chocolate snack from Yuraku has a whole lot of different flavors and varieties to offer.
