'Deep Strawberry Thunder' Tasting Review: Sweet and sour strawberry flavor and light crunchy texture

From Yuraku Confectionery's classic 'Black Thunder' series, ' Koichigo Thunder', which uses strawberry chips with a crispy texture and strawberry powder with a sweet and sour taste to create a rich and gorgeous strawberry taste, will be available at Lawson on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. I had a chance to try this new flavor of Black Thunder early, so I enjoyed it early.

This is 'Strawberry Thunder'.

Looking at the ingredients column, you can see that 'dried strawberry flakes' and 'dried strawberry powder' are used.

Each bottle contains 114kcal.

I immediately took it out of the bag.

The size is the same as a regular Black Thunder.

When you look at a cross section, you can see that the chocolate contains strawberry powder, strawberry chips, and biscuits, so it really does have a strawberry feel.

The crunchy texture of the Black Thunder is accented by the crunchy texture of the strawberry chips, and when you take a bite, the sweetness of the strawberry is accented by a refreshing sourness. Thanks to this, you can enjoy the contrast between the light texture of Black Thunder and the rich flavor of strawberries, making this a new flavor.

'Deep Strawberry Thunder' will be sold in limited quantities at Lawson stores nationwide except Lawson Store 100 from Tuesday, May 13, 2025, and the price is 76 yen (tax included) per piece.
