Black Thunder
Rep one of Japan’s most popular chocolates with some sweet swag that’s now available for everyone.
Things get personal, and sweet, in the latest chapter of the ongoing difference of opinions about a Japanese cultural tradition.
Message from Belgian confectioner is a bolt from the blue, but the makers of Black Thunder are only too happy to play along.
The king of giri choco is here to help women who have to buy chocolate to give to all the guys they’re not attracted to on Valentine’s Day.
Defender of Japan’s “obligation chocolate” culture tempts us with another cheap yet awesome dessert.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, the Tokyo-based candy company says “You do you, and we’ll do us.”
No one ever said pizza couldn’t be sweet, right? Well, certainly no one in Japan! We’ve already introduced to you the high-sugar Kit Kat pizza and caramel marshmallow pizza, and now we’ve heard that Aoki’s Pizza, a chain based in Japan’s Tokai Region, will soon be offering up a unique creation of its own: the Pizza Black Thunder!
Could this chocolate and cookie laden creation be the ultimate sweet pizza?
