A tasting review of Yuraku Confectionery's 'Brown Sugar Thunder' that combines the sweetness of mellow brown sugar with chocolate

The classic chocolate confectionery 'Black Thunder' series will be joined by ' Brown Sugar Thunder ', which uses Okinawa-made brown sugar, characterized by its mellow sweetness, from Tuesday, May 21, 2024. Although it is a material that is often used in sweets such as tapioca, the combination with chocolate is not very major. By using brown sugar, which is not a very popular combination with chocolate, it is said that it is an unprecedented black thunder that has an addictive taste like black karinto and a crunchy texture, so I actually tried it.

The Black Thunder that was sent this time came in a box like this.

This is 'Brown Sugar Thunder'.

The ingredients used include chocolate, black karinto, cocoa cookies, and brown sugar.

The calories are 106kcal per 20g stick.

Apparently 33.2% of the brown sugar used is made in Okinawa.

This is what it looks like when you take it out of the bag.

Comparing the regular Black Thunder (left) and the brown sugar Thunder (right), it was found that the brown sugar Thunder was slightly lighter in color.

When comparing the cross sections, we can see that they are both filled with cocoa cookies and plain biscuits, but the Brown Sugar Thunder also contains brown karinto and white rice puffs shaped like rice.

When you eat it, you can feel the crunchy texture of the Black Thunder and the deep sweetness of the brown sugar that is like the black honey that is wrapped around the surface of the karinto. Therefore, it was a dish that took the best of both Black Thunder and black karinto.

Brown sugar thunder will be available for purchase at convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, etc. nationwide from Tuesday, May 21, 2024, with a suggested retail price of 54 yen (tax included). Also, on Rakuten Market, a pack of 20 is 918 yen (tax included) and shipping is 950 yen (tax included).
